Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is celebrating 70 on Saturday, just weeks ahead of the launch of his political party on December 31. After much speculation around his official political plunge, the veteran actor had announced last week that he will launch the party, setting eyes on the Tamil Nadu assembly polls in 2021.
Prime Minister Modi wished him on Twitter. “Dear Rajinikanthji , wishing you a happy birthday! May you lead a long and healthy life.”
Fans and celebrities also have been showering wishes for Thalaiva on his brithday.
