Superstar Rajnikanth, the ultimate "Style Mannan", an icon in the Tamil Film Industry has scaled great heights of success by sheer talent, mannerism, charisma and last but not the least, mass appeal with an immensely loyal fan following.He may have essayed many villain roles in his early days, but with Thalapathy, there was no looking back for the actor. Annamalai, Basha, Muthu, Padayappa, Chandramukhi and Sivaji proved time and again that none can equal him when it comes to draw ing the crowds back to the cinema halls.
If Apoorva Raagangal was his debut Tamil movie, then success courted him from Billa. A fairy tale it may seem that a villain over the years took on a hero image and then went on to grace superstardom. His forthcoming release Enthiran opposite Aishwarya Rai has already created ripples, way before it release in the theatres.
With power packed dialogue delivery to match his stylized gestures, he has found his way into the hearts of even those who have criticized him. The actor has also performed in many Hindi movies during his acting career. While our dear Superstar Rajini turns 58 this year, we wish him Happy Birthday. We at Oneindia wish him many more years of success and glories to come.
