Mini Biography
The Tamil mega star from 70s till present, he
is one of the highest earning actors in Asia.
He has also worked in Hindi, Telugu and
Kannada and even an English film. Born in
Bangalore (India) he was the son of a police
constable. He was employed as a bus
conductor before he joined the Madras Film
Institute. He made his debut in "Katha
Sangama" and became a star with "Apoorva
Raagangal". His unique acting style is
characterized by a trademark gesture: flipping
a cigarette in the air and catching it in his
mouth. His dark skin and heavy-lidded eyes
have made him the hero of the lower classes.
His fans conduct poojas on huge cutouts of
Rajnikant just before the launching of his
films to ensure his success. His fans collect
opening day ticket stubs of his movies and
even buy them at exorbitant prices. Directors
cannot 'kill off' his character in the movie for
fear that the theatre will be burnt down to
prevent future runnings of the movie by his
'crazed' fans who consider him almost a god.
He is said to "explode like a tiger on screen".
