Filmmaker Soundarya Rajinikanth, daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, delivered a baby boy at a private hospital in Chennai. "The baby was born on Wednesday last. Both the baby and the mother are absolutely fine," said a source close to Rajini. Soundarya married Ashwin Ramkumar, an industrialist, in 2010. This is the couple's first child. Soundarya is best known for directing India's first motion capture animated film “Kochadaiyaan,” featuring her father. At the audio launch of “Kochadaiyaan” in 2013, Rajini publicly wished for his daughter Soundarya to settle down and subsequently chase her filmmaking dream. Rajinikanth already has two grandsons, Yatra and Linga, from his second daughter Aishwarya, who is married to popular actor Dhanush.
