Rajinikanth Is More Human Than Anyone of Us Rajinikanth is often referred as God; the doodh abhishek on his film poster during his film releases is nothing but love that his ardent fans have been showering on him over these many years. Not only does run out of seats during Rajinikanth’s film releases, there are also special prizes for the first 10 bookings that come in. In Mumbai the Aurora theatre is not the usual on the first day of a Rajinikanth release. Did you know that in Mumbai there are two Rajinikanth fan clubs - Maharashtra State Rajinikanth Fans’ Welfare Association (MSRFWA) and Tanka Nilavuhas. They fight amongst each other to get a glimpse of Rajinikanth’s films on first day first show. Not only do they put the Aurora owner in a tizzy, they also organize a chat between Rajinikanth and his fans that however are chosen on the basis of having bought the first 10 tickets. Not only do they cramp up in queues for tickets, they even celebrate the release like it’s their own. While the love and affection for the superstar is appreciated, how much of Rajinikanth do people actually know of? Isn’t he is a human who have had to face difficulties in life? Isn’t he more human than any of us? The actor never asked for all this. He has never asked people to build his temples and worship his idol. While he humbly accepts the love, how much do we know what the man is like in reality? His actions on-screen are unreal, something make his appear more like God. He seems to have a solution for every problem, and his style is often copied. But one can’t just forgo the fact that he is just like us – he breathes the same air and drinks from the same well. May be we consider him God, but he more likely considers him human. His films have been duds too. His films may have managed to earn as much, but he as an actor has failed to provide his audience with a better story. And that is exactly where he is human, as to human is to err. He may have had good releases in the past, http://www.follo.in
and he may have had enjoyed a high point in his career, but today concepts work more than stars. He too have had come from nowhere to be at this high pedestal today, he too have children who have equally erred. His family too has issues like yours and mine, and he too must be dealing with a lot in life. Many a times he must have given in a lot, and many a times all the love would have gone unanswered. But what is with stardom that we are unable to relate with actors more humanly, while actors thrive to appear more human like to relate with the audiences. While we all have enjoyed reading the Rajinikanth jokes because there is nothing that Rajini can’t do. We want all the super powers that he possesses, but can we be even near to humanity like he is. While we over the years have worshipped Rajinikanth for his every film – hit or flop doesn’t really matter. We should now make believe that he is just another human like us, and unlike his avatars in films Rajinikanth is more an actor than the superhero we expect him to be.
