Fans are my divine force

Superstar Rajinikanth, fresh off his 75th birthday celebrations, took to X to thank everyone who showered him with wishes — from political leaders and film fraternity to fans worldwide. Calling his fans “the divine force that sustains me,” Rajini expressed heartfelt gratitude to dignitaries including PM Narendra Modi, Tamil Nadu leaders Stalin and Palaniswami, AP CM Chandrababu Naidu, and former VP Venkaiah Naidu. The actor also shared personalised thank-you notes, reflecting the warmth and humility that have defined his five-decade journey.

Rajinikanth began his birthday with prayers at the Tirupati temple and later celebrated on the sets of ‘Jailer 2’ with director Nelson and crew. Fans, celebrities, and colleagues — from Kamal Haasan and Mohanlal to Karthik Subbaraj and Harish Kalyan — poured in emotional tributes, marking not just 75 years of Thalaiva but 50 years of cinematic legacy. The celebrations, both on set and online, captured how deeply Rajinikanth continues to inspire generations.
