The relationship between Superstar Rajinikanth and Shatrughan Sinha is very special, that both consider each other as friend, philosopher and guide.

Rajini has always maintained that some of his 'style statements' were inspired from Shatrughan, while the latter too hardly missed out an opportunity to express his admiration towards the former.

Recently, the Bollywood star was unwell and was hospitalised. "Throughout his hospitalisation, Rajini was in constant touch with Shatrughan and showed keen interest in the improvement of his friend's health," say sources.

They add: "Rajini gave many valuable health tips to Shatrughan on how to bounce back to normalcy. Also, the Superstar is planning to go to Mumbai soon to meet his pal."
