Superstar Rajinikanth is not a mere mortal. He is the 'Thalaivaa'; the undisputed ruler of many hearts. While we wish a Happy Rajinikanth to Birthday (we dare not do the reverse), we bring to you some unknown facts about THE RAJINIKANTH. Rajinikanth turns 65 today (December 12).
The much popular style of tossing the cigarette up in the air to catch it with the lips started as early as he reached his 18. Betting his senior friends that he is capable of joining their gang, Shivaji first performed the trick in the bushes at school.
His close friend Bahadur is the first guy who rekindled his interest in art while he was still a conductor and also helped him go to Pune for studying in the film institute.
After every movie, he maintains a habit of taking a break out of Chennai and usually goes to the Himalayas. Bangalore, however, is his favourite spot to hang out with his old buddies.
The simplicity is what everyone loves about Rajinikanth. He always stands up to greet everyone who enters the sets for the day’s shoot.
Rajinikanth is a brand name and in the prestigious AVM studios, he has a room allocated for him to use while shooting. The same kind of room is allotted for him in the hotels he visits and in Rishikesh where he stays during the Himalayan visit.
The only person who has the right to scold and dictate terms to him is his mentor K Balachander.
