Actor Rajinikanth who is fondly called as “Super star”, “Thalaiva” by fans and predominantly worked in Tamil film industry was honoured with the 2019 Dadasaheb Phalke award. The announcement was made by Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar in the April month of this year. The announcement emerged days before the assembly elections. While questions were raised on the connection with the large fan base of Rajinikanth and the assembly elections, Union Minister Prakash Javadekar responded saying “This is an award related to the film world and Rajinikanth has been working for 50 years…one must ask proper questions,”
From Prime minister Narendra Modi to the actor’s long time friend and Makkal Needhi Maiam president Kamal Haasan, almost all the celebrated personalities from the country wished him the best for the achievement. On Monday, the Superstar actor received the award from vice president Venkaiah Naidu at New Delhi’s Vigyan Bhawan. He dedicated the award to his old bus driver friend, late filmmaker K Balachander who directed his first filom “Apoorva Ragangal”, his brother Sathyanarayana Rao and his “directors, producers, theatre owners, technicians and fans”
