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

01:32We consider it a great blessing.
