Rajinikanth’s first tweet was:

“Salutation to the Lord. Vaṇakkam aṉaivarukkum !!(Respect full Wishes to all) A big thank you to all my fans. Excited on this digital journey.”

Rajni’s further tweets so far are mostly –

“Thank you for being a part of the fan family. Here is an exclusive Kochadaiiyaan poster for you, with a link attached.”
