    I have been a Rajnikant fan since Shivaji The Boss..The movie was so explicit in it's subtext like it was a parody of itself but Rajnikant made it so entertaining that only he could make. The man brings authenticity to every role with Rajnikant you know you will be entertained no matter how absurd the plot is. I can watch him reading newspaper and I won't get bored. Rajnikant is like Coca Cola in a weird meal you have never heard of but you order it because at least you get the Coke. I think that is the reason he is loved in whole of India or the world.

    I always wondered what if Rajini played Raj Kiran's role in Power Pandi. He can pull it off and show a beautiful side of him. The film shows vulnerability, beauty of love and challenges of being a neglected parent. Watching certain scenes in Kabali, Kaala and Petta, i miss Rajini being romantic, comedic and vulnerable. It shows a different side of him. Being "massy" does not define strength or mean they are a "real" man.

    Most of us always complaint of his age and he should do age appropriate roles etc. It's basically from our incapability and envy. Who said that actors should do age appropriate roles. When youngs actors do old roles we don't have a problem then why the other way we are too critical. We just are a bunch of hypocrites and jealous immatures. That's all. Let Rajini be Rajni of his choice not by our biases!!

    I am not a great Rajini fan, but when it comes to a combination of Stardom and acting, Annamalai, Netrikann and Sivajai were good. Sure some of his old films without stardom like 16 Vayadhiniley, Mullum Malaram, Thappidha Thaalangal etc were also good.

    @YashVardhanFilms 3 роки тому +1

    The reason why Rajinikanth became bigger star than Mohanlal is because Mohanlal plays Everyman while Rajinikanth plays Superman. To like Everyman , you need to be relatable. Someone from North cannot relate to Kerala as people in these states are different and so are life experiences. For example movies like Varavelpu is relatable to Malayalee but not to North because we neither have Unionism nor people going to Gulf this much.
    Whereas in Rajinikanth, you do not need to be Tamilian to enjoy Rajinikanth movies. It is not that Rajinikanth would play a Sri Lankan Tamilian like Kamal Hassan did in Thenali. You can just Wow to his style like any Tamilian would because style are universal. Since I was 10 when Shivaji was released , Shivaji was first time I became fan of Rajinikanth when it came Hindi dubbed on repeat viewing in TV.
    About Chiranjeevi, it is another matter. While his Indra the Tiger is a hit on TV viewing, he appears serious in comparison to Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna in movies like Gang Leader and SP Parashuram. This is Nagarjuna is more famous than Chiranjeevi because of repeat viewing of Hindi dubbed version of Mass and Don on TV.
    One thing people are forgetting is that we look forward to seeing Kamal and Rajinikanth in different “avatar” in next movie. While Chiru will play a rowdy or Mohanlal will play a family man on scooter , Rajinikanth will be a Robot in one and Malaysian gangster in next. Same with Kamal who will be women in one and a Hindu extremist in next.
    Even Mohanlal had to Lucifer to get pan-India appeal because he was playing Superman basically. Coincidentally Lucifer was second Mohanlal movie I saw with first being Company.
    P.S. Between Kamal and Rajinikanth, I am a Rajinikanth fan. He is my favourite Tamil actor.
