First, let us all take a moment to wish acting legend Rajinikanth a very happy birthday. The Indian cinema icon turns 73 today. Not many would disagree he deserves and owns the title of “megastar”. From brandishing his veshti like a sword to his hard-hitting dialogues, ‘Thalaivar' has been ruling our hearts. On the super special day, wishes are coming in from all concerns. Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan was among the first to wish his “dear friend”. In a note on X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, “Happy birthday to my dear friend superstar Rajinikanth. I sincerely wish you to live a happy life reaping success today and forever.” Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have worked together in several hit films in the 70s, including Ninaithale Ninaikum, Apoorva Raagangal, Ilamai Oonjal, 16 Vayathinile, Moondru Mudichu, Aval Appadithan, Aadukirathu and Thaayillamal Naan Illai.
அருமை நண்பர் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் @rajinikanth அவர்களுக்கு இனிய பிறந்தநாள் வாழ்த்துகள். இன்றும் என்றும் வெற்றிகளை அறுவடை செய்தபடி உற்சாகமாக வாழ மனதார வாழ்த்துகிறேன்.
