Superstar Rajinikanth, who was on a month-long US vacation along with his daughter Aishwarya Dhanush, returned to India on Sunday.

"Rajinikanth sir and his daughter Aishwarya returned to Chennai earlier this evening. He was welcomed by hordes of fans at the airport. From the first week of August, he will resume work on his Tamil film '2.o'," a source close to the 65-year old star told IANS.

As part of his vacation, the "Enthiran" actor is rumoured to have attended a detoxification program.

He also spent some time in Satchitandanda ashram in Virginia.

Rajinikanth's latest Tamil outing "Kabali", which released on Friday, is successfully running in cinemas.

In the film, he played a don who fights for equal pay rights for Tamils in Malaysia.
