There were reports that Superstar Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan would come together for a public service advertisement to be made by Union Health Ministry to create awareness on child health in India. However, this has been denied by those at the top actor's office.
In a statement, Rajini's spokesperson Sudhakar said, "Rajinikanth has not signed any agreement related to the advertisement. And he has not given any commitment to anyone in this regard. Also, we can not confirm that he would act with Aamir Khan in that advertisement."
Last week, reports claimed that the ad film was part of the Health Ministry's special awareness advertisement campaign about the malnutrition of children in India.
"A recent study stated that the mortality rate among Indian children is high due to malnutrition, which is why the government decided to spread awareness on the subject through an ad campaign. Aamir Khan has also been roped in for the initiative, which will advocate the eradication of malnutrition," a source was quoted as saying.
It added: "Rajini doesn't endorse any product, but when he was told that it was an ad film for an awareness program, he readily agreed. Aamir too agreed instantly on learning that Rajini sir is also part of the campaign. The campaign will reach the audience in the form of television advertisements, newspaper ads and hoardings among other things."
