His new movie ‘Kochadaiiyaan’, directed by his younger daughter Soundarya R. Ashwin, is gearing for release Friday. Hence, Rajini`s decision to make his presence felt on the digital world, seems to be well-timed.

"I am confident that I have the best team and the best guides who will help me connect with my audience," said the superstar.
