Rajinikanth: The Definitive Biography

Rajinikanth is, quite simply, the biggest superstar cinema-crazy India has ever seen. His stylized dialogues and screen mannerisms are legion, and his guy-next-door-cum-superhero image has found a hysterically appreciative following among millions of moviegoers.

Naman Ramachandran s marvellous biography recounts Rajini s career in meticulous detail, tracing his incredible cinematic journey from Apoorva Raagangal (1975) to Kochadaiyaan (2013). Along the way, the book provides rare insights into the Thalaivar s personal life, from his childhood days to his times of struggle when he was still Shivaji Rao Gaekwad and then his eventual stardom: revealing how a legend was born.
