Thalaivaa Rajinikanth's 75th birthday wasn't just a celebration—it became a cinematic phenomenon. Social media, especially Twitter, erupted on December 12, 2025, with excitement that filled fans from across South India to the global stage. Rajinikanth—a name that has for decades symbolized swag that defies the laws of gravity, logic, and science—continues to rule millions of hearts with the same energy. Fan tributes flooded Twitter since early morning. People remembered the most iconic moments of his career through edits, fan art, and short videos. Some posts were heartwarming, while others were downright hilarious—especially the edits depicting Rajinikanth flying like a "superhero grandpa." Many fans wrote that the joy on their timelines today was greater than even Diwali. Childhood memories also surfaced frequently during this digital celebration. One user shared that he was just eight years old when he first watched Baasha on an old VCR in his dusty living room, and that day Rajinikanth became not just his hero but a legend. Millions are sharing this sentiment today. From Chennai to Kuala Lumpur, #HBDSuperstarRajinikanth has trended, becoming a digital tribute. Nostalgia isn't the only thing making this day special. The real excitement is the rumor of a #Jailer2 teaser, which has kept fans glued to their screens. Given how last year's blockbuster Jailer grossed over ₹600 crore at the box office and reaffirmed Thalaiva's star power, expectations for this sequel are skyrocketing. There's talk on social media that the teaser could drop at midnight and include cameos from major stars. Some fans even jokingly wrote that if Rajinikanth didn't ride a tiger and enter the villain's hideout in Jailer 2, the sequel would be incomplete. One viral post, which has received over 50,000 likes, says, "Thalaiva doesn't celebrate birthdays; birthdays celebrate him." Despite the generation gap, Rajinikanth's influence remains undiminished. Today, Gen Z is remixing Chandramukhi's dance steps on TikTok, while boomers are marathoning Muthu on their old VHS tapes. Simple dialogues like "Enna Rasakalala" have once again become central to pop culture—sometimes to alleviate exam stress, sometimes to add humor to memes. In many South Indian cities, Rajinikanth fan clubs lit lamps in temples and organized langars and street feasts on this special day. In Madurai, Chennai, and Coimbatore, the day turned into a festival. Some fans even shared AI-generated videos showing Rajinikanth wishing himself a happy birthday. These videos are as funny as they are heartwarming. Of course, some have even been heard saying that Rajinikanth is past his prime. But the box office figures and the success of Jailer prove otherwise. Rajinikanth isn't just a superstar—he's a cultural wave. His journey from a bus conductor to one of India's biggest cinematic icons remains one of the most inspiring chapters in film history. Age doesn't suit Rajinikanth, but 75 suits him. His smile remains as radiant, his swagger as unwavering. By evening, millions of tweets were pouring in, with celebrities from Bollywood and around the world wishing him well. Fans shared live videos from Marina Beach, where the joy of his birthday blossomed into small celebrations. The Thalaiva legacy isn't just about films—it's about emotions, memories, and the power to connect generations. Even at 75, his magic remains as powerful, and fans hope that in the years to come, Jailer 2 will prove that Thalaiva's reign is not over yet—but about to reach new heights. |
