Chennai, Jul 13 (IANS): Tamil superstar Rajinikanth returns here Wednesday night, nearly one and a half month after he flew out to Singapore for medical treatment.

Sources close to the family told IANS that the actor will drive straight to his farm house near here and take rest there for about a month.
