During their meeting, Yogi Adityanath gifted Rajinikanth a book and a small idol of Lord Ganesh to wish him well for his movie.
Superstar Rajinikanth, who is likely to watch his blockbuster new release ‘Jailer’ with CM Adityanath later, will visit Ayodhya on Sunday to seek Lord Ram’s blessings for the success of his film.
Earlier in the day, a special screening of ‘Jailer’ was held in Lucknow, which was attended by Adityanath’s deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya.
“I also got a chance to watch the movie ‘Jailer’. I had watched Rajinikanth’s many films and he is such a talented actor that even though there is not much content in the movie still with his performance, he increases the importance of the film”, PTI quoted Maurya as saying.
Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer,’ was released in theatres on August 10 and has been making waves at the box office since then. In India alone, the film’s eight-day total collection stood at Rs 235.65 crore.
Earlier in the day, Adityanath offered prayers at Ayodhya’s Shri Ram Janmabhoomi and inspected the site where construction work for the grand Ram Temple is underway.
