 "Rajinikanth rebuffs reports of replacing SRK as Malacca's brand ambassador")
Superstar Rajinikanth on Friday dubbed as rumours reports suggesting that he would replace Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan as Malacca's ambassador.
"I was shooting a movie in Malaysia sometime ago. I could not meet him then, so I met him now. Malaysia extended extremely good cooperation. It happened that he is here in Chennai. He accepted my invitation. He saw the 'Kabali' clips also for 15-20 minutes. He liked it. He offered me to do more pictures in Malaysia. It was a goodwill meet," he told the media after meeting Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Rajak here.
Earlier in 2016, Rajinikanth was in Malaysia for the shoot of his gangster flick 'Kabali'.
Ever since his announcement to visit Sri Lanka was made, Rajinikanth's name has been constantly hitting the headlines.
The actor was upset with a few political leaders in Tamil Nadu for opposing his decision to visit Sri Lanka and cancelled his plans.
