Superstar Thalaiva Rajinikanth is the trending name on Twitter today, as the most-loved actor in the country is enjoying his 67nth birthday.
More than a couple of hashtags on Thalaivar have taken the centre stage on the micro-blogging site. Not just his fans, top celebrities across the nation, including his close friend, Bollywood star Big B, have wished the Kabali star on Twitter.
Rajinikanth said he opted for a low-key birthday following Cyclone Ochki, in which nearly 500 Tamil fishermen are still missing and 40 people had died. But this happens to be the third year Rajinikanth has chosen to stay away from the fan frenzy.
This time too, ahead of the D-Day, posters have come up in Chennai and elsewhere, urging the superstar to take the political plunge. Among the multiple posters designed for his birthday, one showed him carrying a sword.
The accompanying message read: “We stand holding your hands, You come Thalaiva [Leader].”
