Rajinikanth filmography

Rajinikanth at the audio release of Kochadaiiyaan (2014)

Rajinikanth is an Indian film actor who has acted in more than 150 films, predominantly in Tamil cinema.^[1] He began his film career by playing antagonistic characters and slowly graduated to a lead actor. After starring in numerous commercially-successful films throughout the 1980s and 90s, he has continued to hold a matinée idol status in the popular culture of Tamil Nadu. He has also worked in other film industries such as Bollywood, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, and the United States.^[2]

After acting in plays while working as a bus conductor in the erstwhile Bangalore Transport Service,^[3][4] Rajinikanth moved to Madras (now Chennai) in 1973 and joined the Madras Film Institute to pursue a diploma in acting. While performing in a stage play at the institute, he got noticed by the Tamil film director K. Balachander, who signed him for four films.^[5] Rajinkanth made his debut with Balachander's 1975 Tamil film Apoorva Raagangal, in which he played a minor role.^[6] The director's Anthuleni Katha (1976) was the first film saw him play a major role for the first time. Later that year, he was cast in a negative role in Moondru Mudichu, his first full-fledged role in Tamil. It was through this film that his style and mannerisms got noticed by the audience. The following year, he acted in 15 films, most of which had him in negative roles—Avargal, 16 Vayathinile, and Gayathri. However, he played positive roles in Chilakamma Cheppindi and S. P. Muthuraman's Bhuvana Oru Kelvikkuri (1977). The success of the latter brought the duo—Muthuraman and Rajinikanth—together for 24 more films till the early 1990s.^[7] By the end of the decade, he became a popular actor in South Indian cinema.^[8] Billa (1980), the Tamil remake of the Bollywood film Don (1978), had Rajinikanth playing dual roles and eventually became his first ever commercial success.^[2][9] Thillu Mullu (1981), which was the remake of the Bollywood film Gol Maal (1979),^[10] was Rajinikanth's first full-length comedy film; it broke the action hero mould for which he was known at that time.^[9] Nallavanuku Nallavan (1984) won Rajinikanth his only Filmfare Award for Best Actor till date.^[2]

Throughout the 1990s, Rajinikanth starred in a series of commercial films with most of them being successful. Muthu (1995), which was directed by K. S. Ravikumar and produced by Balachander, had Rajinikanth playing a father and son. It became the first Tamil film to be dubbed into Japanese, as Mutu: Odoru Maharaja.^[11] The film grossed a record US$1.6 million in Japan in 1998 and was responsible for creating a large Japanese fan-base for the actor.^[12] In the 2000s, Rajinikanth starred in Baba in 2002, for which he was also the scriptwriter and producer.^[13] The film, however, fell short of market expectations and incurred heavy losses for the distributors. Rajinikanth himself repaid the losses.^[14] Rajinikanth made a comeback with P. Vasu's Chandramukhi (2005), a remake of the Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu (1993). Upon release the film was highly successful at the box-office and its theatrical run lasted 890 days at Sivaji Ganesan's family-owned Shanthi theatre, beating the 62-year record set by the 1944 film Haridas, which ran for 770 days at Chennai's Broadway Theatre.^[15] It is the first Tamil film to be dubbed into German and Turkish.^[16] Rajinikanth received a salary of ₹ 260 million for his role in the film Sivaji (2007), which made him the second highest paid actor in Asia after Jackie Chan.^[17] In 2010, he played the lead role in Enthiran, India's costliest film then. The film went on to become one of the highest grossing films ever made in India.^[18] Rajinikanth played triple roles in the 2014 film Kochadaiiyaan. It was the first motion capture film to be made in India.^[19]
