Thalaivar  

Millions of Indians dream of making it in Indian cinema, but only a few succeed, as it demands intense hard work, sacrifices, and risks. Check out these actors who took the leap, leaving their government jobs for acting careers. 

Dhanush's ecstatic tweet over Rajinikanth's Thalaivar 171 first look ignites social media frenzy. Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth's collaboration sparks anticipation

Days after a Dravidian outfit demanded Rajinikanth to apologise for his comments on a rally led by Dravidian icon Periyar decades ago, the Tamil superstar today said he will neither express regret nor apologise for his speech made at Thuglak magazine’s 50th-anniversary event on January 14. The Dravidian outfit had claimed that the actor had defamed Periyar when he reminded people that the latter had disrespected Lord Ram and Sita. Here’s all you need to know about this controversy.

Thalaivar fans are always on the lookout for updates on their favourite superstar's movies. AR Murugadoss, director of Darbar, released pictures of Rajinikanth and title design of the movie at 7pm today.
 

 This week has seen a flurry of activity what with Diganth Manchale-Aindrita Ray tying the knot and Petta's latest update as well as Thalaivar's birthday celebrations. So without further ado, let's get cracking!  

Rajinikanth, who is riding high on the success of "2.0", is currently in Mumbai to attend the wedding of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal.
 

Marana Mass is the first song released from Rajinikanth's Petta and has already received an overwhelming response from Thalaivar fans.

Thalaivar is back with a bang after Kaala! Petta is the title of superstar Rajinikanth's new film. This would be Rajinikanth's 165th film.

Clouds of gloom which surrounded AIADMK post-Jayalalithaa's demise still have not left the party's abode. Several developments that are taking place with each passing day indicate that the party might witness a downfall in the near future. To make things worse for AIADMK, the new entrants in politics, Rajnikanth and Kamal Haasan enjoy a massive fan following in the state. According to the survey, about 40 per cent of the TN voters are ardent fans of the Thalaivar here as 30 percent are Kamal fans. Will AIADMK be able to survive this crisis or will it reduce to a minority party?
 

We all know the large fan base of actor-turned-politician Rajinikanth. We have seen many of the South actors ape his style and punch dialogues too. However, in the recent past, Bollywood seems to be obsessed with the superstar. From Rajini masks to songs paying tribute to Thalaivar, the stars of the North seem to be piggybacking on brand Rajinikanth?
