Numerous fans and admirers have also been sending their wishes to the iconic actor.

Actor Harish Kalyan was among the earliest to convey his greetings, stating, "I was just five years old when I first experienced #Baasha, and a piece of me remains in that moment. Thank you, Thalaiva, for inspiring me and countless others across generations. You are the one and only Superstar. Happy Birthday to the Style Samrat and the Mastermind, @rajinikanth sir."

As tributes continue to pour in for Rajinikanth, who has marked 50 years in the film industry, his blockbuster film 'Padayappa' is set to be re-released on this special day.

In a recent interview, Rajinikanth revealed plans for a sequel to 'Padayappa', currently in story discussions.

He mentioned, "In my 50 years in cinema, the first instance of women breaking down theater doors to watch a film occurred with 'Padayappa'. Given the success of films like '2.0' and 'Jailer 2', it struck me that we should create a second part to 'Padayappa'. As Neelambari, played by Ramya Krishnan, mentioned in the original, 'I will seek revenge in my next life.' Thus, the title will be 'Neelambari - Padayappa 2'. We are actively discussing the story. If executed well, it will be a celebration for fans akin to a festival."
