While Shah Rukh did not dedicate a social media post for Rajinikanth, it seems like he reached out to him over the phone and conveyed his best wishes. Shah Rukh has always spoken highly about Rajinikanth. He also dedicated the song Lungi Dance, from the film Chennai Express to the actor. 

As reported by India Today, Shah Rukh Khan had shared Rajinikanth's reaction to the song during Chennai Express music launch. “He (Rajinikanth) called me three days back and he saw the video on YouTube. He said it's very good, very naughty, very sweet. He said, 'It's really nice that you have done this song'. I'm very happy that Rajini sir is happy with the song and the family is happy,” he said at the time.  

Shah Rukh has been away from social media since late September. His last post on Twitter was on September 23, a few days before his son Aryan Khan was arrested in a drugs case. Although Aryan was released on October 31, the actor has chosen to stay away from the limelight. 

The Pathan actor has not made a public appearance either, since his sole appearance at the Arthur Road Jail in Mumbai, in October, when he went to meet his son Aryan in jail. The actor is expected to resume shoot on his upcoming projects soon.
