“Happy birthday, Rajini Sir,” this is how millions of his fans across the globe wished the ‘real life superhero’ on his 63
rd birthday today. The Tamil superstar
Rajinikanth, who has worked in various film industries including Bollywood and
Sandalwood, does not need any introduction. He has achieved the cult status and his fans are his disciples who worship him as their God.
Fan frenzy surrounding Rajinikanth is unprecedented, something which perhaps no other celebrity or politician enjoy in the country. What makes Rajinikanth a ‘rockstar’ is not just his hit movies, but his down-to-earth attitude and simplicity that leave everyone, including those who have never watched any of his film, floored by his personality. He is simply the Thalaiva (boss or leader) for his fans. His charisma is unique, like the man himself. Be it the way he smokes his cigarette, puts on his shades or delivers his dialogues, Rajini Sir is a true pan-Indian superstar.
Recently, Sandalwood paid a musical tribute to the superstar by filming the song, Belledare Belleyabeku Rajinikantharange in Bangalore. The song is from the upcoming Kannada film starring Rajinikanth’s friend Raj Bahadur in the lead.
