Rajinikanth turns 63; spends birthday in Bangalore

December 12, 2013 10:13

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth today turned 63 and is said to be celebrating his birthday in native town Bangalore.

Sources close to the actor said he had earlier left for the city, keeping with his usual practice of staying away from Chennai on his birthday every year. However, he had met his fans last year.

Die-hard fans of the veteran actor have organised special prayers and welfare activities to celebrate their idol's birthday.

Rajinikanth's is a typical rags-to-riches story as he has transformed his mundane life as a bus conductor in Bangalore to that of a most sought after actor, with a frenzied fan base hailing him as their 'Thalaivar' (The Leader).

From what started as a small role in his mentor K Balachander's 'Aboorva Ragangal' in 1975, Rajinikanth soon charted his path as a preferred villain before opting for more positive roles.
