Rajinikanth leaves an indelible impression the minds of the audiences through his witty sense of humor and distinct style of acting. He was honored with the Padma Vibhushan Award on April 2016.

Well, one would wonder that for such a man of mass appeal, what is the role of content in his films?

And his performance in the film, which is a blend of emotions and indifference was embraced by all. Baasha is yet another memorable film of the superstar wherein he mesmerized us with his dialogues, style and yes acting…and everyone knows that the movie was telecast in television many a times….

Kabali was released on July 2016. Audiences expect a Rajini’s film to have long dialogues. There was no dialogues that were specially created for getting whistles, the way in which Rajinikanth utters “Kabali Da” is something that is enough to satisfy his fans. In fact, Kabali had a flashback sequence in which the superstar was supposed to give a young look, and yes, he did that in a seamless manner. Kabali also created a huge sensation in social media. The flick revolves around Rajinikanth, a Malaysian gangster and mostly it was filmed in Malaysia. The flick was also dubbed in Telugu, Hindi and Malay. Kabali had created ripples since the release of its teaser and the song “ Neruppu Da Story Coming Soon >> Read More... ” became a huge hit.

The café has the movie poster, valuable info mouthed by the actor, and much more; you get the trivia related to Rajinikanth.

If one analyses why Rajinikanth is so famous then one can come to a conclusion that it is his inimitable style and dialogue delivery that draws him to the audiences. In Endhiran, Rajinikanth essayed the role of a genius scientist and his robot product Chitti. Apparently his yet-to-be-released 2.0 deals with the additional adventures of the robot Chitti. Besides Rajinikanth 2.0 also has Akshay Kumar Akshay Kumar was born on 9th September 1967 and hi >> Read More... , Amy Jackson Amy Jackson is the popular actress in India, who i >> Read More... , Sudhanshu Pandey Sudhanshu Pandey was born on 22nd August 1974 in L >> Read More... and Adil Hussain Adil Hussain is a prominent Indian television, fi >> Read More... . Music is composed by the music wizard A R Rahman. The first look of 2.0 took place in Mumbai and the Superstar was dressed modestly. 2.0 had created great expectations since the cast is outstanding and the budget is a whopping amount. But that is what a Shankar film is mainly about. And during the event the two actors, Rajini and Akshay only had words of compliments for each other. The iconic Amitabh Bachchan, who is also a pal of Rajnikanth, attended the event. And Salman Khan was generous enough to spare some time for this great event. Filmmaker Karan Johar also attended the show.

If reports are to be believed Rajinikanth will join hands with Pa Ranjith, who directed him in Kabali, again and the movie will be bankrolled by Dhanush, the superstar’s son-in-law. Rajinikanth will apparently start working on this movie soon.

Rajinikanth found a special place in the heart of the masses through his unparalleled style and dialogue delivery. And now the real test of him is to win the audiences’ heart with films that are content-driven. But again, nowadays many actors are doing mass entertainers and are even doing well. He would have been surely an inspiration to such actors. After all, the real credit for an actor is by re-inventing himself continuously and satisfying every set of audience. And for an actor of Rajinikanth’s caliber we are sure he would do that.
