The unwavering adoration and devotion for celebrities often manifest in unique and profound ways, as recently evidenced by an ardent fan of Thalaivar Rajinikanth from Madurai, Tamil Nadu. This dedicated admirer, identified as Karthik, has garnered widespread attention for constructing a temple in the superstar’s honour within his residence, underscoring the profound influence Rajinikanth commands among his loyal followers.
Within the temple’s sanctum, an awe-inspiring 250 kg idol of the beloved Thalaivar, a term of endearment for Thalaivar Rajinikanth, stands as a testament to the fan’s profound reverence for the iconic actor. Karthik, in an interview with ANI, articulated the deep-seated veneration he holds for Rajinikanth, equating the revered actor to a deity and emphasizing that the temple serves as a tangible expression of his utmost respect and devotion towards the superstar. Karthik’s daughter, Anushiya, further highlighted the devout worship rendered to the idol, drawing parallels to the customary reverence offered to deities in a traditional temple setting. Notably, reports indicate that Karthik remains exclusively dedicated to Thalaivar Rajinikanth’s cinematic oeuvre, eschewing any other actor’s work.
In the realm of Thalaivar Rajinikanth’s cinematic endeavours, his latest blockbuster, “Jailer,” has emerged as one of the most significant Indian releases of the year. Helmed by director Nelson Dilipkumar, the movie has garnered resounding success, amassing an impressive box office collection surpassing Rs 600 crores since its September debut. The film’s ensemble cast, including Rajinikanth, Vinayakan, Mirnaa Menon, Ramya Krishnan, Vasanth Ravi, and Yogi Babu, has contributed to the movie’s widespread acclaim, further propelled by the captivating musical compositions of Anirudh Ravichander.
Moreover, recent updates in Rajinikanth’s illustrious career reveal his involvement in two new projects, signifying an exciting phase for his dedicated fan base. Presently engaged in the filming of his next venture tentatively titled “Thalaivar 170,” under the direction of TJ Gnanavel, Rajinikanth is set to share the screen with an illustrious ensemble, including Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Dushara Vijayan, and Ritika Singh, with Anirudh Ravichander at the helm of the musical compositions.
