A Rajinikanth film opening in the cinemas is nothing less than a grand event for all of Thalaiva’s fans in the South. His posters are garlanded and bathed with milk before the screening starts. As soon as he arrives on the celluloid, the reel is stopped just so that fans can have their time to celebrate his arrival and the subsequent catharsis.

Just imagine what would happen when his birthday arrives. Well, all his fans know the Superstar celebrates his birthday every year on December 12, but this year was a bit different. According to his star sign and tradition, his birthday also falls on December 2, and the actor brought in the occasion with close friends and family at his residence in Chennai.
