Tamil superstar Rajnikanth offered prayers at the Lord Venkateswara temple last night for the success of his upcoming film, Sivaji: The Boss. Directed by Shankar, the film will release on June 15.

Accompanied by members of his family, Rajnikanth motored to the Tirumala hills from Chennai. The star had offered prayers with Shankar earlier as well, before the film's shooting started.

Talking to reporters after the darshan, Rajnikanth said that the film highlighted the menace of 'black money and corruption.'

After an overnight stay at the hilltop, he participated in the pre-dawn rituals of the temple.
