Tamil superstar Rajinikanth on Saturday met Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at his official residence in Lucknow. During this meeting, the superstar touched Yogi Adityanath’s feet. Soon after the video of Thalaivar’s exchange with Yogi Adityanath went viral, netizens were quick to share their reactions regarding the same.
“The biggest facepalm and cringefest video of the month,” a user said. “Waste meeting, damaged his own image by Rajinikanth. Should have avoided falling on his feet. Whole Jailer movie positivity has been into negativity,” another user said.

Some other reactions that supported Rajinikanth
Rajinikanth, known popularly as Thalaivar among his fans, said that he plans to watch his recent film Jailer with the Chief Minister. Before his trip to Uttar Pradesh, Rajinikanth told ANI: “I will watch the film with the CM. The movie’s success feels like a blessing from above”.
The development came after a special screening of Jailer was held in Lucknow for UP Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya. After the special screening, Maurya said that he was impressed with Rajinikanth’s performance in the film.
“I had the opportunity to watch the movie ‘Jailer’. Having seen many of Rajinikanth’s films, I recognize his exceptional talent. Even though the movie might lack extensive content, his performance magnifies its significance,” the deputy chief minister told PTI.
Meanwhile, Jailer is among the top three Tamil hits ever at the worldwide box office. The film has surpassed Mani Ratnam-directorial Ponniyin Selvan 1 or PS 1 and Rajinikanth is on course to break his own record at the global box office. While Ponniyin Selvan 1 collected Rs 500 crore during its lifetime at the worldwide box office, Jailer raked in around Rs 514.25 crore at the worldwide box office within 10 days of its release.
Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar-starrer 2.0, which was released in 2018, collected Rs 800 crore in its lifetime at the global box office.
