The 12th of December marked a significant milestone as the undisputed superstar Rajinikanth celebrated his 75th birthday. The day was instantly transformed into a festive occasion, with an outpouring of wishes flooding in from all corners of the globe—from devoted fans and high-profile politicians to stalwarts of the film industry. Among the most notable well-wishers were his lifelong friend and fellow cinematic legend, Kamal Haasan, Malayalam cinema icon Mohanlal, and the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi.

PM Modi's Heartfelt Tribute to a Captivating Career

A prominent voice joining the chorus of birthday greetings was Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Taking to social media, the PM extended his wishes to the celebrated actor, underscoring Rajinikanth's enduring influence on popular culture.

The Prime Minister’s message read: “Greetings to Thiru Rajinikanth Ji on the special occasion of his 75th birthday. His performances have captivated generations and have earned extensive admiration.” He further acknowledged the star’s incredible longevity and versatility, noting that Rajinikanth’s “body of work spans diverse roles and genres, consistently setting benchmarks.” The message also highlighted another major professional achievement this year: the completion of 50 years in the world of films. Concluding with a personal touch, PM Modi prayed for the actor’s long and healthy life and also posted the entire message in Tamil to honor his regional connect.

Kamal Haasan Celebrates a Friendship and a Legacy

One of the most anticipated wishes came from Kamal Haasan, a contemporary and cherished friend whose professional journey has paralleled Rajinikanth’s for decades. Kamal Haasan shared a touching picture of himself with the birthday star on social media, beautifully encapsulating their shared history and mutual admiration.

His concise yet profound message celebrated both the man and the artist: “75 years of a remarkable life. 50 years of legendary cinema. Happy birthday, my friend @rajinikanth.” This simple statement underscored the dual celebrations of the day—a man’s life and a superstar's half-century of contribution to the silver screen.

The celebrations were felt deeply across the South Indian film fraternities. Malayalam superstar Mohanlal also extended his warmest wishes, celebrating the milestone birthday of his dear colleague and friend. These messages from legends like Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan emphasize the pan-Indian respect and affection Rajinikanth commands, transcending regional cinematic boundaries.

The star-studded wishes didn't stop there. Actors like Simran, Raghava Lawrence, and Yogi Babu also joined the digital celebration, lauding his inspiring career and enduring charm. From politicians and peers to fans and family (including a sweet wish from his former son-in-law, Dhanush), the entire industry paused to honor the unique brilliance and humility that has defined Rajinikanth’s 75 remarkable years of life.
