Hootee started getting traction after Rajinikanth shared a note on his Twitter timeline on Sunday. In a post written in Tamil, the superstar expressed happiness at introducing the homegrown social media app, which will allow users to express their voice, thoughts, wishes and thoughts in any language.
High-profile users of Hootee include cricketer-turned-politician Gautam Gambhir and South star Rana Daggubati. The Hoot team has many big names in the tech world as consultants. The list includes Girish Matrubootham, founder and CEO of FreshWorks, who recently went for an initial public offering (IPO) in the US stock market. Tech entrepreneur Arvind Parthasarathy, founder of Project Crossword, has also been included on the social media platform’s advisory board.
The launch of the Hoot app comes on the day Rajinikanth was honored with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. The day became even more special for Rajinikanth’s family as his son-in-law actor Dhanush was awarded the Best Actor at the National Film Awards for his performance in Asuran.
Aishwarya, Rajinikanth’s daughter and Dhanush’s wife uploaded a picture of both the actors on Instagram. “They are mine… and this is history,” she wrote in the post.
Accepting the 51st Dadasaheb Phalke Awards at Vigyan Bhawan, Delhi, Rajinikanth thanked all his directors, co-actors and others associated with his career. He dedicated his award to K Balachander, the director of Rajinikanth’s debut film Apoorva Raagangal.
