Rajinikanth began his acting journey in 1975 with Tamil film Apoorva Raagangal, and has since then appeared in over 175 titles. He made his mark as a character actor in the movie Aarulirunthu Arupathu Varai. He has also featured in Bollywood films such as Bhagwan Dada, Chaalbaaz and Hum.
Having worked with Rajinikanth in four Tamil films - Baasha, Veera, Annamalai and Baba - southern filmmaker Suresh Krissna feels the actor is a superstar both on and off the screen.
