Tamil cinema icon Rajinikanth was among the earliest celebrities to arrive at the polling booth in Chennai today to cast his vote for the 2026 Assembly Elections. Accompanied by his daughter, Soundarya Rajinikanth, the actor arrived at the Stella Maris College polling station amid tight security. After casting his vote, he proudly displayed his inked finger to the waiting media and urged all citizens to exercise their right to vote, emphasizing that participation is the foundation of a strong democracy.

The appearance comes during a busy production schedule for the actor, who is currently filming 'Jailer 2' (officially titled Hukuum). Fans gathered in large numbers outside the polling station, not only to catch a glimpse of the star but also to celebrate his continued active participation in the state's civic processes. Rajinikanth maintained a calm and disciplined presence, standing in line briefly and interacting cordially with election officials before departing to avoid further crowd congestion.

Soundarya Rajinikanth also shared a message on social media following their visit, posting a photo of her and her father with the caption "Duty Done." This public display of civic responsibility by the "Thalaivar" is expected to have a significant impact on voter turnout, particularly among the youth and his vast fan base across Tamil Nadu. As the state observes a high-stakes election, the Superstar’s participation remains a highlight of the morning's proceedings.
