Since the 1970s, Rajinikanth has been a megastar in the Tamil film industry. He is one of Asia’s highest-paid actors. He has primarily appeared in Tamil films, but he has also appeared in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, and Hollywood films. He was born in Bangalore, India, and before entering the Madras Film Institute, he worked as a bus conductor. In Katha Sangama, he made his acting debut in 1975, and with Apoorva Raagangal, he quickly gained notoriety. His unique acting technique is marked by recognizable actions like tossing a cigarette into the air and catching it in his mouth. He has successfully played a variety of characters and is regarded as an actor who can effortlessly do action, drama, and comedy.
Although dance is regarded as an important talent for performers in Indian movies, he is not particularly well-known for it. His performances in films from the 1970s and 1980s, including Mullum Malarum (1978), Aarilirunthu Arubathu Varai (1979), and Johnny (1980), to films like Kabali (2016), are regarded as examples of his acting ability. His widely acclaimed performances in these films are overlooked by his performances as an action megastar. For his services to the arts, the Indian government awarded him the Padma Bhushan in 2000 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2016. He received the “Centenary Award for Indian Film Personality of the Year” at the 45th International Film Festival of India (2014).
