This year Rajinikanth has chosen to spend time quietly on his own on his birthday.
Chennai:
Its Superstar Rajinikanth's 63rd birthday today and his fans are performing special pujas across Tamil Nadu.
At the Ragavendra Temple in Chennai's T Nagar they performed Kanagabishegam, a puja using hundred and eight gold coins for the well-being of the actor. Rajagopalan, a fan who had coordinated this told NDTV "it's a big day for all of us we prayed for Rajini Sir's health and long life".
The scheduled music launch of Rajini's next film Kochadaiyaan was postponed without giving fresh date. While that's a bit of disappoinement for fans many theatres across Tamil Nadu are showing old hits of Rajinikanth to cheer his fans and draw more crowds. Senthil, a fan says "The release of any movie of Rajinikanth is like Diwali for us. We are enjoying his old movies but we can't wait to watch his Kochadaiyaan".
As part of their welfare programmes an eye hospital in Chennai has arranged for free screening of students from sixty four schools to mark the Superstar's 63rd birthday.
Rajnikanth began his career as a bus Conductor and as a Superstar he continues to charm movie goers of all ages. Ajit Benjamin Daniels a young fan says "it's his style, the way he walks, talks and the way he wears his glasses, everything he does charms us".
Nikhil Viswanathan, another student says "I love his humility. His life is an inspiration for all students who fail in exams; no matter what we are now through hard work and perseverance we can achieve our goals".
Rajinikanth is yet to release any films he fell ill due to Kidney ailment. His Kochadaiyaan, a 3D movie featuring Deepika Padukone as heroine and directed by his daughter Soundarya Ashwin Rajinikanth has already created a huge buzz. A fan summed it up saying "the day Kochadaiyaan releases would be a big day, a combination of Diwali, New Year and Pongal".
The actor who surprised fans by his public appearance on his birthday last year has chosen to spend time quietly on his own which has always been his custom.
