About Rajinikanth

Rajinikanth, born as Shivaji Rao Gaikwad, is a renowned film personality who has worked in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Hindi, and Bengali films. He is best known for his work in Tamil movies.

Rajinikanth worked as a bus conductor with the Bangalore Transport Service before enrolling to study acting in Chennai and being discovered by the famous director K. Balachander, who also gave him his screen name. Rajinikanth didn’t start off as a superstar. In fact, he was very far from it. His initial roles saw him playing malicious characters, but he moved on to breakthrough roles as a charming hero and action star whom the crowds couldn’t get enough of. 

His stylish and exaggerated mannerisms, such as flipping a cigarette and catching it with his lips, or walking with a swagger, earned him a cult following. The craze for his movies is so strong that his followers anoint his cut-outs with milk and garlands to show their love for him. 

Rajinikanth has been awarded the Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan, and the Dadasaheb Phalke Award (India's highest honor in cinema) for his contributions to Indian films.

Rajinikanth is married to Latha Rangachari and they have two daughters.

Saturn, the lord of Capricorn, being the Moon sign lord, gave him a hardworking personality. Durudhara and Veshi Yogas brought him success and made him a highly renowned personality.

The Planetary Combination Rajinikanth Should Guard Against
