I have never watched any movie of Rajnikant so asking this question.
Is he really one of the best actors of the country?

All I have heard about him is he is very simple and humble in real life.

I have watched lot of his movie scenes where he has done lot of IMPOSSIBLE things. 🤣

So is he popular and successful only because of those unnatural scenes or has he really done some great acting in his movies? Great acting matlab not those unnatural stunts that he does in movies.😆

I too wanted to compare him with Salman.😆

So does he also do mindless masala flicks like Salman?

I have no idea about his south movies so I am asking.

He is not the best actor of all time and neither he is the most handsome actors of all time. But he has got charisma and screen presence. when you watch his movies you are captivated by him. You only see him.
And he is a very humble person. His humble heart and his captivating presence makes him THE SUPERSTAR.

He isn't even a tamil man but he is treated like god in tamil nadu... I am so amazed how crazy the tamil people are about him till today.

Of course his films are mostly over the top, but his films, mostly his film before 2000 were amazing and for 2-3 hours you could forget your own problems and you could dive in in his movies.

I do think that you have to grow up with his films to see him as your very own superstar :-) For example I don't think that an adult from western country will connect who never know him, will connect with him like the people who has grown up with him.

Even I want to know .. I might get abused for this but I really want to know why in the world would people go crazy over just an actor .. I mean he might be good but seriously, you gotta worship him? .. I find it a bit crazy.

comparing Rajni with Salman is a greatest insult to a legend like Rajni. Before all Sailu fans throw bricks at me, let me clarify, I do love Salman, but, he does not have depth of emotions like Rajni. Watch Rajni' Tamil/Telugu movies when he was an actor, not superstar yet. You will understand.

Salman never had the need to become actor, he has been a star from the get go. That kind of acceptance from audience will not let the craft of actor to thrive and improve. Mixed blessing.

He has charisma. He might not be a looker, but he compensates as an actor through his swag. A relative of mine met him while he was shooting for an ensemble Hindi film somewhere. She went there to meet a superstar who was her favourite actor, but came back with stories about how Rajnikanth is such a gentleman. For me, the film that changed everything was Sivaji. As an old man, he was damn good in it. And how he turned his life around by being more charitable and devoted is quite something.

Rajini Kanth is an average performer when compared to the likes of Kamal, Vikram etc. But he has a great charisma/screen presence whatever. He is a good human being with a golden heart.

About why he is worshiped like a god, Tamilians do that to everyone (No offence to tamlians)if they love, they love like that and if they hate, then they hate like sky is the limit. B4 rajini sir,, they loved MGR the same way and then they loved actress Kushboo and even built a temple and did daily pooja to her statue and i can go on and on.

More than Rajini sir, its all about Tamilians and their admiration, else everything is pretty much ordinary

Unless you are a South Indian who at least grew up with South Indians(especially south Andhra and Tamilians as far as I know), you will not understand the sentiment :-)
No offence to anyone. I am his great admirer too, but it's mostly because of seeing the admiration of my south-Andhra/Tamilian friends in my childhood - it's another sentiment..
