Rajinikanth is always different and genuine in whatever he does.

Rajinikanth also has a way of surprising many with his spontaneity and large-heartedness.

Recently at the shoot of Sivaji, he caught the entire unit unawares as he presented them with smart winter clothing.

Of course, his munificence doesn't stop with his teammates. His general goodwill goes far and beyond.

The recent recipients of Rajini's good-natured wishes were Ajith and his wife Shalini.

The superstar was very much impressed with Ajith's new release Varalaru. Rajini had seen the movie at a special show and had conveyed his appreciation to director K S Ravikumar.

He had also spoken to Ravikumar about Ajith's splendid performance in the film.

Rajini recently invited Ajith and Shalini to his house and held a grand dinner for them.

Rajini was unstinting in his praise for Ajith. "It is great work," Rajini said of Ajith's triple role in Varalaru.

Needless to say, Ajith and Shalini were overwhelmed by Rajini's warmth.
