<p>Superstar <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/photo/vignesh-shivan-and-nayanthara-pose-with-shah-rukh-khan-suriya-rajinikanth-and-others-at-their-wedding-93656" rel="nofollow">Rajinikanth</a></strong> called on the Thackeray family at their 'Matoshri' home here on Saturday afternoon, in what was described as a "courtesy call".</p>
<p>Rajinikanth, in a simple shirt and jeans, was accorded a warm welcome by Shiv Sena-UBT President and ex-Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, his wife Rashmi and their sons Aditya and Tejas.</p>
<p>Later, Aditya - an ex-Minister - tweeted a picture of the family greeting the legendary actor, draping a shawl around his shoulder and offering a large bouquet of flowers against a backdrop of a portrait of the late Balasaheb Thackeray.</p>
<p>"An absolute delight to have Shri Rajinikanthji at Matoshri once again," said Aditya, as the star came to their home after 13 years.</p>
<p>A party office-bearer said that Rajinikanth's visit was purely a "courtesy call", and there was no political angle to it as the Tamil actor was a strong follower of the late Balasaheb Thackeray.</p>
