The Centre has named actor Rajinikanth as winner of the Centenary Award for Indian Film Personality of the Year. This was announced by Colonel Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, Minister of State, Information and Broadcasting, on Tuesday.
The Chennai-based actor would be receiving the honour at the 45th International Film Festival of India to be held in Goa from November 20 to 30. Social media was agog with excitement as fans posted messages congratulating their ‘Superstar’, as he is fondly known.
The 63-year-old actor is a recipient of the Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian honour which he got in 2000. He has also won a number of awards from the Tamil Nadu government.
Hailing from a modest background, the actor had a dream debut in K. Balachander’s Aboorva Ragangal in 1975 and fans are eagerly looking forward to his upcoming Lingaa.
“His contribution to cinema is immense and no amount of awards is enough. This award is a recognition for his pan-Indian popularity,” said Bobby Simha, actor and a fan of Rajinikanth.
