Annaatthe,
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
which
hit
the
screens
in
2021,
had
made
its
television
premiere
this
Pongal.
Interestingly,
the
much-awaited
Annaatthe
TRP
rating
is
finally
out
and
as
expected,
the
family
entertainer
has
done
well.
The
Siva
directorial
has
now
entered
the
all-time
Top
3
premiere
TRP
list
of
Tamil
cinema.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
Annaatthe,
with
its
world
television
premiere
on
Sun
TV,
had
secured
a
TVR
of
21.60
with
17.37
Million
impressions.
Thus,
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
has
entered
the
all-time
Top
3
premiere
list
of
Tamil
cinema,
by
earning
the
third
spot.
Ajith
Kumar's
Viswasam
is
still
in
the
No.1
position,
while
Pichhaikaaran
has
earned
the
second
spot.
Annaatthe
has
indeed
delivered
an
exceptional
performance
in
TRP
ratings.
This
once
again
proves
its
leading
man
Rajinikanth's
strong
influence
among
the
family
audiences.
As
reported
earlier,
Annaatthe
had
ended
up
as
a
disappointing
venture
at
the
theatres
with
a
strictly
average
box
office
collection
and
negative
reviews
that
poured
in.
However,
none
of
these
have
stopped
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
from
emerging
as
a
TRP
hit.
Earlier,
in
a
voice
post
made
on
the
Hoote
app,
the
superstar
had
revealed
how
he
touched
he
was
with
the
Annaatthe
story
narration.
Rajinikanth
had
asked
director
Siva
to
come
up
with
a
script
for
him
in
15
days,
but
he
finished
it
in
12
days.
"All
he
asked
was
two-and-half
hours
of
my
time
and
three
bottles
of
water.
After
the
narration,
I
started
crying,
and
hugged
him," revealed
the
veteran
actor
in
his
post.
Nayanthara
and
Keerthy
Suresh
played
the
female
leads
in
Annaatthe,
which
marked
Rajinikanth's
reunion
with
Sun
Pictures.
While
the
National
award-winning
actor
played
his
beloved
younger
sister,
the
lady
superstar
appeared
as
his
love
interest.
