For Rajini fans, nothing can match the joy watching the
letters SUPERSTAR appearing on screen during the first
day first show of their 'Thalaivar' movie.

If there is one thing that equals their happiness,
it is the birthday of their matinee idol, that is,
December 12. Their joy is double this time, as the
Superstar is stepping into his 60th year and plans
are on to celebrate 'Rajini-60' in a grand way.

Fans of the Superstar in Sholinghur, a temple town in
Vellore district, have come out with a book full of colourful
paintings that depict Rajini as a revolutionary who would
bring social equality for all.

The book, ‘Rajini 60’, compiled by district treasurer of
the fans club N. Ravi and members of the club K. Pasupathy
and Bharathi, captures different moods of the actor.
It depicts him as a saint, noble human being,
great leader on par with Mahatma Gandhi and Siva Lingam.

Besides, Rajini Fans Club has also decided to help fans
belonging to poor families by taking life insurance policies for
a sum of Rs 1.50 lakh in their names. The fans club would pay
the premium amount for the beneficiaries of the scheme.

Not just in Sholinghur, but fans all over the country and abroad
are planning big to celebrate their big day. "There will be various
welfare activists and health camps. Special poojas will be
performed in temples," say sources.

It is to be noted that the actor beseeched his fans to stay away from any celebrations last year considering the sufferings of Tamils in neighboring Sri Lanka. He left for Hyderabad to take part in the shooting of his animation movie 'Sultan: The Warrior', being directed by his daughter Soundarya.

This year too, office bearers of the Superstar's fans club have asked fans not to come to Chennai to greet Rajini, as he will be out of town. Our sources say he will take part in the shoot of 'Endhiran' tomorrow.

While the Superstar, by attending the shoot, would do what he enjoys the most on his birthday, his fans would do what they enjoy the most- Celebrating Rajini.

And we at IndiaGlitz too join hands with Rajini fans and greet the Superstar a very happy birthday.
