Rajinikanth completes half a century in cinema, fan adorns Rajini temple with actor’s photos, movie posters

In a heartfelt tribute to mark 50 years of superstar Rajinikanth in cinema, a fan named Karthik celebrated the milestone by adorning the Rajinikanth temple, Arulmigu Sri Rajini Temple, with over 5,500 photographs of the cinema artiste in Madurai. He also performed abhishekam (ritual bathing) as part of the worship, showcasing his deep devotion and admiration.

The temple, inaugurated just a few years ago, features a striking 300-kg idol of Rajinikanth. The actor began his cinematic journey in 1975 and has continued it successfully to this day. At 74, superstar Rajinikanth remains one of the leading actors in Tamil cinema, achieving remarkable milestones that resonate with today’s generation.

The Jailer actor has completed 50 years in the cinema industry this year. He debuted with the Tamil film Apoorva Raagangal in 1975. It was directed by K Balachander. In his five-decade career, the actor has garnered fame across the Indian cinema industry due to his unique acting style, iconic punch dialogues, and global fan following.

Rajinikanth is known for his superhit films including Sivaji: The Boss, Robot, Robot 2.0, Thalapathy, Jailer and others.

The actor was last seen in the film Vettaiyan. It boasted a star-studded cast which included Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati in the lead roles.

Rajinikanth will be next seen in the highly anticipated movie Coolie, which is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film stars Kannada star Upendra, Aamir Khan and Nagarjuna Akkineni in prominent roles.—ANI
