Marathi Boy Rajinikanth Takes Whoever Helped Him During His Times of Poverty With Him Till Today.

Shivaji Rao Gaikwad[a] (born 12 December 1949), known professionally as Rajinikanth[b], is an Indian actor, producer and screenwriter who works mainly in Tamil cinema[5]. In a career spanning over five decades, he has done 260 films that includes films in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, and Malayalam. He is widely regarded as one of the most successful and popular actors in the history of Indian cinema. Known for his uniquely styled lines and idiosyncrasies in films, he has a huge fan base across South India and has a cult following. The Government of India honoured him with Padma Bhushan in 2000, Padma Vibhushan in 2016, India's third and second highest civilian honours, and Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2019 for his contributions to Indian cinema.[6][7]

Following his debut in K. Balachander's 1975 Tamil drama Apoorva Raagangal, Rajinikanth's acting career commenced with a brief phase of portraying antagonistic characters in Tamil films. His major positive role as a scorned lover in S. P. Muthuraman's Bhuvana Oru Kelvi Kuri (1977), 1978's Mullum Malarum and Aval Appadithan received him critical acclaim; the former earned him a Tamil Nadu State Film Award Special Prize for Best Actor.[8][9] By the end of the decade, he had worked in all South Indian film industries and established a career in Tamil cinema. He then played dual roles in the action thriller Billa (1980), a remake of the Hindi film Don (1978). It was his biggest commercial success to that point, earned him stardom and gave him the action hero image.[10] He starred in triple role in Moondru Mugam (1982), which earned him a special prize at the Tamil Nadu State Film Awards ceremony. The following year, he made his Bollywood debut with T. Rama Rao's top grossing Andhaa Kaanoon (1983).[11] Nallavanukku Nallavan (1984) won him that year's Filmfare Award for Best Tamil Actor.[12] In the latter half of the 1980s, he starred in several successful films in Tamil and Hindi, including Padikkadavan (1985), Mr. Bharath (1986), Bhagwaan Dada (1986), Velaikaran (1987), Dharmathin Thalaivan (1988) and Hum (1991).[13]

In 1991, Mani Ratnam's Tamil crime film Thalapathi, earned him major critical acclaim for his performance.[14] He collaborated with Suresh Krissna for many films including Annaamalai (1992) and Baashha (1995); the latter was the biggest commercial success in his career yet as well as the highest grossing film in Tamil for many years.[15] His other success includes P. Vasu's Mannan (1992), Uzhaippali (1993) and K. S. Ravikumar's Muthu (1995) and Padayappa (1999); the latter which went on to become his and Tamil cinema's highest-grossing movie, exceeding Baashha.

After a few years of hiatus, he returned to acting with the comedy horror film Chandramukhi (2005); it went on to become again the highest-grossing Tamil film. His next, S. Shankar's Sivaji (2007) was the third Indian film to enter the 100 Crore Club. He played dual roles, as a scientist and an andro-humanoid robot, in the science fiction film Enthiran (2010) and its sequel 2.0 (2018), both being India's most expensive productions at the time of their release, and among the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.

He has won many awards, including a National Film Award, seven Tamil Nadu State Film Awards, a Nandi Award and a Filmfare Award. Rajinikanth was also named one of the most influential persons in South Asia by Asiaweek.[18][19] He was also named by Forbes India as the most influential Indian of the year 2010.Rajinikanth was born as Shivaji Rao Gaekwad on 12 December 1949 in a Maratha family in Bangalore, Mysore State (present day Karnataka).[21][1][22] He was named after the Maratha Empire king Shivaji, and was brought up speaking Marathi at home and Kannada outside.[21] His mother was a housewife,[d] and his father Ramoji Rao Gaekwad was a police constable.[1] His ancestors hailed from Mavadi Kadepathar, Pune, Maharashtra.[24][25] He is the youngest of four siblings in a family consisting of two elder brothers (Satyanarayana Rao and Nageshwara Rao) and a sister (Aswath Balubhai).[26][21] After his father's retirement from work in 1956, the family moved to the suburb of Hanumantha Nagar in Bangalore and built a house there.

Rajnikant a Star of unique style. A man who stands by family values and friendship. A man of strong character and firm believer of God though His life was also full of ups and down, but this star possesses some unique characteristics which are hard to find in any other star. His spiritual journey had started when he was just in school and till now, he is following his spiritual path even after such a busy life in this show business.
Hope you will enjoy my presentation on Rajni sir. I am a huge fan of him and enjoyed each and every moment while working on this project. Best wishes from Bollywood Classic Era ! Jyoti Saxena
