Secret behind Rajinikanth’s success


Kalaignyar Karunanidhi analyzed Rajinikanth’s real strength behind success from different angles on the 804th day of running “Chandramukhi”.

It was shown live on Kalaignyar TV The CM said it was not STYLE, PUNCTUALITY, SELF-CONFIDENCE or ACTING that Rajini successful.

It was his HUMILITY (ADAKKAM) that has made Rajini successful. Even at the pinnacle of his career Rajinikanth has not forgotten his old friends or forgot to thank the men behind his success.
When Rajinikanth spoke, he thanked his Guru Balachander, Director Vasu, his colleague Kamalhasan from whom he learned acting and the technicians. Lastly he did not forget to thank his fans (Rasika Perumakkal)

Every great man has a secret behind his success. But to bring out the truth by the CM from his heart showed the wisdom, kindness and appreciation for talents by Karunanidhi.

It is a different matter that I differ from him on his unwanted comments on Lord Rama. He has hurt the faith and sentiments of billions of Hindus for a trivial matter like building the Sethu Bridge.
