What happens when a 'VIP' fan of Rajinikanth meets the Tamil superstar? They take a blockbuster selfie together.

Chennai, March 31: Millions across the world love Tamil superstar Rajinikanth. However, the veteran actor also has several VIP fans. One is non-other than Malaysian Prime Minister Mohammad Najib Tun Razak.

The Malaysian Prime Minister, who is currently in Chennai, met Rajinikanth at his house on Friday. And like a typical fan, Razak took a selfie with Rajinikanth. Talking about his VIP guest, Rajinikanth told reporters, "I was shooting a movie in Malaysia some time ago. I could not meet him then, so I met him now."

"I was not offered to become the brand ambassador of Malaysia. These are all rumours," Rajnikanth added.

The Malaysian Prime Minister and his wife Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor landed in Chennai on Thursday as a part of their five-day-long India visit. Both the Malaysian Prime Minister and his wife are big Bollywood and Tamil movie-buffs and they are die-hard fans of Rajinikanth.

Reports say that Razak and his wife became fans of Rajinikanth after the actor shot his blockbuster film, Kabali, in Malaysia. Earlier, the Malaysian authorities had put in a request with the actor's team to fix an appointment between Rajinikanth and his VIP fan.

The Malaysian Prime Minister is scheduled to stay in Chennai for two days, after which he and his entourage will visit Delhi. Then, he will visit Delhi and meet his counterpart Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital. "I'll be travelling to India for a 5-day visit. A country that's been our friend since 1957. Looking forward to meeting PM @narendramodi again," Razak tweeted.

Responding to this, PM Modi tweeted, "India is delighted to welcome you, Prime Minister. Your visit will further boost India-Malaysia ties." Modi and Razak will hold substantive talks on April 1 which are expected to cover a range of issues, particularly focusing on enhancing business ties.
