Superstar Rajinikanth attends a screening of his latest blockbuster, ‘Jailer 2’, with fans in Chennai, watching the film in IMAX.

Both outlets frame the event as a rare public appearance. The Hindu emphasizes that this is the first time in 40 years that Rajinikanth watches a film like this with an audience, highlighting the setting of an IMAX theatre and the fan turnout. India Today also highlights the “first time in 40 years” point, focusing on Rajinikanth’s attendance at a fan screening and treating it as a notable milestone. While both accounts agree on the core details—Rajinikanth, the film, fans, Chennai, and the 40-year reference—they differ slightly in wording and the specific attention given to the IMAX format.

Overall, the story centres on Rajinikanth’s on-screen debut experience with supporters and the significance attached to the 40-year gap.
