Rajinikanth, the iconic superstar of Tamil cinema, continues to garner immense admiration and respect in the entertainment world. His recent blockbuster, the Tamil film 'Jailer,' is yet another testament to his acting prowess. In celebration of the movie's remarkable success, Kalanithi Maran, the head of Sun Pictures, presented Rajinikanth with a luxurious BMW car and a share of the film's profits.
On September 1, Sun Pictures took to social media to share the exciting news. They revealed that Kalanithi Maran had gifted Rajinikanth a brand-new BMW X7. The caption accompanying the post read, "#JailerSuccessCelebrations continue!
