It's Superstar Rajinikanth's 73rd birthday today, December 12! This day is made extra special by a birthday wish from his 'dear friend' Kamal Haasan. The 'Vikram' actor conveyed his birthday ...

Although Rajinikanth is his screen name, Rajini's real name is Shivaji Rao Gaekwad after the Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji. Rajinikanth is from Karnataka and grew up learning Marathi and Kannada.

This gangster drama that won hearts in 1991, is all set to return to theatres, three decades later, as a tribute to Rajinikanth who will be celebrating his 74th birthday this year in December.
