South Superstar Rajinikanth affectionately referred to as Thalaivar turns 63 today. Coincidentally this day falls on 12-12-12, a unique day which occurs once in a 100 years. The day itself is as unique as this Superstar, whose magic in cine industry is limitless. Nothing can be made to understand why his mere presence on & off screen can create magic among millions. The only actor, whose movie tickets sell tickets tenfold on the first day is our Anbulla Rajinikanth.

The stylish conductor's journey from KSRTC begin with Aboorva Raagangal and has never looked back, till the to be released Kochadaiyaan. Heroism is not an artificial phenomenon to this demigod, as he does it with ease. One actor who cares about the welfare of every single person on the film unit is our very own superstar, he is known to ensure that everyone benefits out of his films. Why the frenzy at the mere mention of the word Rajinikanth? It will require a psychological research to understand how the Superstar has made his mark in roots of million hearts.

Born as Shivaji Rao Gaikwad, he changed his onscreen name to be Rajinikanth. He has more than 150 films to date and swashbuckling star's endless contribution to cinema industry is impeccable. He might turn 63, but his fan base is a mammoth size number and is the only actor to have a major presence in Japan.

A Philanthropist, a pious man, a Man of the masses, 6 to 63 lovable star and a lot more can be said, yet his simplicity remains unscathed. An example to every human he is, sets his professional life apart from his normal one. He is named as the most influential Indian of the year, Entertainer of the year and a lot more, yet the gifted actor remains serene.
