“Shivaji Rao Gaekwad, popularly known as Super Star Rajinikanth, is a man who has been reigning as the undisputed all-time king of Tamil cinema for the past 50 years, with an unrelenting pace. Although he may have confined himself to a particular style, he has mesmerized many audiences with his incredible acting skills in numerous films like ‘Aadu Puli Aattam’, ‘Aval Appadiththan’, and ‘Kaali’. If one says that Rajinikanth is a legend, and it’s no exaggeration.” But, while there have been many superstars all over Indian cinema, why does Rajinikanth alone receive such a massive welcome from the fans? Ok, Let’s now explore the 4 key reasons behind this phenomenon.”

“Down-to-Earth Despite Decades of Stardom

Since 1975, superstar Rajinikanth has been a dominant force in Indian cinema, earning him a spot among the highest-paid actors. With a luxurious home in Poes Garden and an impressive collection of high-end cars, his net worth is estimated to be around ₹450 crores. Yet, despite his wealth, Rajinikanth has always been humble and kind to everyone around him.

From co-stars to movie directors, he addresses everyone with respect, regardless of their age or position. Even at 74, Rajinikanth still stands up to pay his respects to his directors, demonstrating his enduring humility and commitment to tradition.”

Producer Friendly Actor

Rajinikanth, a Kollywood superstar and one of the highest-paid actors, has had his share of flop movies. However, whenever his films failed to perform well at the box office, he took responsibility and, in some cases, even returned the money to the producers.

During the shoot of one of his movies, Rajinikanth fell ill and was unable to attend filming for a while. After recovering, he completed the film, which went on to become a decent hit. When a member of the production team visited him to hand over his remaining salary, Rajinikanth declined, saying that the producer might have faced financial difficulties during his absence. He insisted that the producer should keep the money, considering it the right thing to do.

Space for Co-Stars

Regardless of their age or experience, Rajinikanth generously allows his co-stars ample space to shine. This quality has earned him admiration from veteran actress Vadivukarasi to young talent Manikandan. Even in brief scenes, Rajinikanth engages with his co-stars and is open to their suggestions and modifications during filming. Notably, he has never asked his directors to reduce the screen time or significance of his co-stars’ roles.
