The superstar's much-awaited film Kabali is set to release on July 22.
Here's how Rajinikanth, who turns 62 today, and his film Sivaji caused mass frenzy overseas!
On the Superstar's birthday, authors P C Balasubramaniam and Ram N Ramakrishnan explain why they chose to write a book on Rajinikanth.
'Kaala's sin is not that it is presented as a mouthpiece for its director Pa Ranjith's political viewpoints, but that it makes a travesty of them.' 'Ranjith turns Marx into merchandise, all the while functioning as a hired hand for Brand Rajinikanth,' points out Sreehari Nair.
The superstar refuses to endorse any label except for one regional cola brand at the start of his career almost four decades ago.
Mumbai fans celebrate the release of Rajinikanth's latest film, Kabali.
