“Rajanikant – A Living Legend” – Prof.M.S.Rao

Rajanikant’s film ‘Robo’ is going to hit the screens shortly. It is the biggest ever budget film in the history of Indian cinema. The film is unique because it is directed by Shankar who stands for success, who believes in sending messages through his movies and who has never tasted failures in his directorial career. Secondly, the producer is Maran the owner of Sun TV channel who is producing the first film. Thirdly, Aishwarya Rai is the heroine who adds glamorous touch to the movie. Above all, it is going to hit the screens in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.

Rajanikant is an incredible superstar who knows the pulse of the people and knows how to entertain them though his style. In fact, it is the style that makes Rajnikant stand out from other stars. Whatever he does, that becomes the style. When he walks, talks, speaks, dances and pops cigarette, it reflects style.

Rajanikant is a phenomenon in the Indian cinema. He entertained Indian masses with well-punched dialogues and messages. Every Rajanikant’s film carries message at the end for the viewers that is everlasting.

Professionally, he has built his brand consciously and systematically through his unique acting skills. He has been putting enormous efforts in acting. He has been cautious about his image on the screen. He easily connects with the moviegoers of four generations. He has kept his base intact. For the last 35 years he has been holding his sway firmly. Although he is from South India several actors from other languages including from Bollywood are his fans.

Personally, Rajanikant is a man of simplicity and humility. He has not forgotten his roots. He respects K. Balachander at the core who spotted his talent and gave him break in film industry. He respects one and all. He is straightforward by nature and believes in God. He maintains his health through yoga and meditation. He gives charities.

The fact is that there is only one Superstar in Indian cinema. That is Rajnikant. Nobody can replicate his charisma. He is unique and none can replace him. The respect and the title of ‘Superstar’ forever stay with him. There can be no other superstars in Indian cinema.

Indians love two Cs – one is cricket and second is cinema. In cricket, there is only one superstar - Sachin Tendulkar and in cinema, there is only one superstar - Rajnikant. Nobody can replace Sachin and Rajanikant as they enjoy special place in the hearts of Indians.
