Out of the 160 (approx) films, 53 movies were either directly made in Telugu or were dubbed. The people of Andhra also equally like Rajinikanth for his styles and mannerisms.
He earned many awards and rewards which include ‘Padma Bhushan’ by Central Government in 1999, Filmfare awards-south, Scrren award for best actor in Peddarayudu in 1995 along many Tamilnadu state awards.
Married to Lata, an English literature graduate, hailing from an elite Iyengar family in 1980, Rajni has two daughters (Aishwarya and Soundarya) who are carefully kept away from the limelight. Lata herself a versatile singer, now runs a school called ‘The Ashram’. The couple indulges in a lot of charity, like converting his Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam into a charitable trust to help the poor and needy, sharing his movie income with important persons in his life and returning money back to the producers if his movie is a flop like Baba. He is also a very spiritual and holy man who goes to the Himalayas to meditate during his lesuire time.
Rajinikanth, for many years was requested by his fans to stand in the State election of Tamil Nadu, which has consistently resisted entering politics directly but has shown interest in politics indirectly.
# 1995- Announced that he is willing to support the Congress party after meeting Prime Minister Narasimha Rao.
# 1996- Congress decided to align with AIADMK. Rajinikanth supported DMK-TMC alliance.
DMK-TMC alliance used Rajini photos extensively in political campaigning.
# 1998- Rajinikanth supported the DMK-TMC alliance in parliamentary elections.
# 2002- Rajini undertook one day fasting condemning Karnataka’s decision to not to release Cauvery water to Tamilnadu. Announced that he would contribute 10 Million rupees towards interlinking of Indian rivers scheme. He met Prime Minister Vajpayee and many experts to canvass support for Interlinking Indian rivers scheme. Based on efforts taken by Rajinikanth and others, Prime minister announced committee to study River Interlinking scheme.
# 2004- Supported BJP-AIADMK alliance in Parliamentary elections and quoted PMK’s violence and BJP’s support to interlinking of Indian rivers as reason for his support. But the alliance failed to win any seats.
A bit of a recluse, he may be at heart, but everyone who’s had the privilege of a darshan with the thalaivar has come away with a spring in his step, and a warm glow in his heart. Warm, friendly and affable, he’s the sort who deserves all the superstardom he’s earned. Such men, indeed, are rare.
LONG LIVE RAJNIKANTH
