Super Star Rajinikanth paid a surprise visit to the Gopalapuram residence of DMK chief and Ex CM Karunanidhi this morning. The actor caught up with the veteran politician for about half an hour between 10.30 and 11 am and Karunanidhi’s son and politician Stalin was also present during the meeting. Though the finer details of the meeting are not yet out, the surprise visit has raised many eye brows. The actor has not been very active in the social circuit after his illness and rarely does he venture out.

However, Rajini has said that the meeting was purely to pay respects to the veteran and wish him for his birthday which was celebrated on June 3.
