Today marks 45 years since superstar Rajinikanth began his journey in the film industry. He comes from humble beginnings as it is a known fact that he did various odd jobs from a bus conductor in the Bangalore Transport Service to a coolie. He debuted through a Tamil drama directed by K. Balachander titled Apoorva Raagangal in 1975. However, it was through his portrayal of a villain in the film ‘Baashha’ that earned him god-like popularity as the film turned out to be a blockbuster hit. Another one of his films, ‘Shivaji’ was the first film from the Indian entertainment industry to earn 100 crores.
