As the 'Thalaivar' turns 63 today, the mood is one of celebration across whole of southern India. And suitably so! For a superstar of his stature, who even at this ripe age, is one of the most bankable stars in the whole country, fans have planned to bring on his sixty-third birthday with a bang.

Fans across states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka have organized special prayers and other welfare activities to celebrate the veteran's birthday.

However, for the larger than life megastar Rajinikanth, it's going to be a quite celebration at his home in Bangalore, away from Chennai.

Here’s wishing the one and only Rajinikanth a very happy 63rd birthday.
