00:00Karthik, a Rajnikanth fan from Madurai, celebrated the superstar's 75th birthday in advance
00:13by cutting a special cake designed with photos of the films he acted in.
00:19He has built the Sri Rajnikanth temple in Thirumangalam of Madurai district, where he
00:24worships Rajnikanth by performing prayers on special days like Navratri and his birthday.
00:32On the occasion of Rajni's birthday every year, we have a tradition of cutting cake and celebrating
00:37at the Sri Rajni temple that we have built.
00:40This year, we wanted to make it special, so we celebrated by cutting a specially designed
00:45ice cream cake with Rajni's stills.
00:48Karthik, a former army official, has also built another temple for Rajnikanth on the
00:54roof of his house and has installed idols there too.
00:58He has a habit of worshipping Rajni every morning and evening.
01:02About 7,500 photos of characters from Rajnikanth's film have been pasted all over the temple.
01:09A poster has also been pasted in 75 languages, wishing Rajnikanth a happy birthday.
01:14For this year's birthday, the number 75 has been designed with black and white pictures
01:19of the films he has acted in.
01:23On January 2, Rajnikanth had invited us as a family to his house in Chennai.
01:28We got to sit and chat with him for almost 45 minutes.
01:32We consider it a great blessing.
01:35Before that, a temple was built for Rajni in a rented house.
01:38Now we are very happy to vacate that and build Rajni's temple in our own house.
01:44Our devotion and worship towards Rajni will continue for generations.
01:48Our prayer at this time is that he may live a long and healthy life.
01:54Karthik celebrated it on Thursday by cutting a 1.5 foot tall and 3 kg ice cream cake designed
02:00with stirs from Rajnikanth movies.
02:03A crown was placed on the statue of Rajnikanth installed at his house, followed by a pooja with
02:08six different ingredients including milk, curd, tender coconut water, paneer and sandalwood
02:14on offer.
