The Phenomenon
Rajinikanth
Superstar
Demi-god status and unparalleled respect in South India
When he is scheduled to reach any place in the South, the entire city comes to a standstill. Such is the power of this superstar. No wonder, then, that he is also the most expensive actor in the country. It is said that when Rajinikanth, 58, decides to take up a movie, half the battle is won at the box office.
Yet, despite all the hype surrounding him, the former bus conductor remains one of the most humble men in the industry. In his late 50s, Rajnikanth is perhaps the only actor in the country who is still offered lead roles and, considering his on-screen persona — with his characteristic gestures that have been endlessly aped by other actors — will perhaps continue to do so for years to come.
