UAE Grants Golden Visa to Indian Superstar Rajinikanth, Thanks to ‘Friend Yusuffali’

Dubai, UAE – In a significant recognition of his contributions to cinema, Indian superstar Rajinikanth has been awarded the prestigious Golden Visa by the UAE. The veteran actor expressed his gratitude to his friend Yusuffali M.A., the Chairman and Managing Director of LuLu Group International, for his instrumental role in facilitating this honor.

Rajinikanth, a towering figure in Indian cinema with a career spanning over four decades, received the Golden Visa as part of the UAE’s initiative to attract and retain talented individuals from various fields. The Golden Visa allows recipients long-term residency in the UAE, providing them the freedom to live, work, and study in the country without the need for a national sponsor.

The actor’s receipt of the Golden Visa highlights the close ties between the Indian film industry and the UAE, and underscores the region’s appeal to high-profile personalities. Rajinikanth’s acknowledgment of Yusuffali M.A. underscores the collaborative spirit and mutual respect shared between prominent Indian figures and the UAE.

In a statement, Rajinikanth said, “I am deeply honored and grateful to receive the Golden Visa. My heartfelt thanks to my dear friend Yusuffali for making this possible.” The gesture reflects the UAE’s ongoing efforts to strengthen cultural and economic bonds with India, a country with a significant expatriate community in the UAE.

Rajinikanth’s recent success with his film “Jailer” and his upcoming projects continue to keep him in the limelight, making this accolade another feather in his cap. The UAE Golden Visa is part of a broader strategy to recognize and reward the contributions of influential individuals in arts, sports, and various other sectors, further enhancing the UAE’s status as a global hub for talent and innovation.
