Rajni's school to be reconstructed

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth's fans and classmates have decided to reconstruct the Government Model Primary School in Gavi Puram near Gavi Gangadhareshwara Swamy Temple, Bengaluru, where the superstar studied five decades ago! Rajinikanth had joined it in Class I and studied there for eight years.

The announcement was made last week in a function held in the presence of Rajni's friends including Kannada actor and Karnataka Film Workers' Association president Ashok, who was Rajini’s batch mate at Adyar Film Institute.

Raj Bhathar, a driver in the same bus of Karnataka State Road Corporation in which Rajinikanth worked as a conductor before joining films, said that Rajinikanth’s classmates have decided to upgrade the school. However, he refused to say anything about Rajni’s personal contribution to the charitable work, saying his friend does not want to publicize his charity work.

Friends and fans are also providing computers and tables to the school. "We are trying to get all high-tech equipment to the school to make it really a model school in the city. I am inspired by Rajni’s charitable work as much as I ardently like his acting abilities," said Sharavana, a hardcore Rajni fan and owner of a high tech jewellery shop in the city.
