As Superstar Rajinikanth approaches his 75th birthday, he delighted fans with a special video revisiting the legacy of his iconic film Padayappa. The tribute comes as the cult classic celebrates its 25th anniversary with a 4K re-release, coinciding with the 50th year of Rajinikanth’s film career, which began in 1975.

Rajinikanth reflected on the magic surrounding Padayappa, explaining why the film was kept exclusively for theatres all these years. “Some films deserve the big screen forever,” he said, underscoring the cinematic experience that the team wanted audiences to cherish without dilution.

Talks of a Sequel: Neelambari – Padayappa 2

In a surprise revelation, Rajinikanth confirmed that early discussions for a sequel are underway. Tentatively titled Neelambari: Padayappa 2, the storyline stems from the famous vow made by Ramya Krishnan’s character Neelambari — one of Tamil cinema’s most iconic antagonists.

Rajinikanth shared interesting casting details, revealing that Aishwarya Rai was initially approached for the role of Neelambari. However, Ramya Krishnan’s fierce screen presence and powerful eyes ultimately solidified her place in film history.

Special Screenings on December 12

Fans in Chennai and Bengaluru are in for a treat, as theatres in both cities will host special screenings of the 4K restored Padayappa on December 12 to commemorate the milestone.

For devotees of the Superstar, the celebrations are perfectly timed, marking:

  • 25 years of Padayappa
  • 50 years of Rajinikanth’s career
  • His 75th birthday

A legendary convergence for a legendary icon.

Chennai, August 25, 2025: Superstar Rajinikanth, widely regarded as one of the most iconic actors in Indian cinema, continues to leave his mark with his latest film Coolie. Released on August 14th, Coolie has crossed the ₹10 crore mark on its second Saturday, becoming his highest-grossing film after the 2023 hit Jailer.

In Coolie, Rajinikanth steps into the powerful role of Devaraj, a former gold smuggler turned antagonist, bringing his signature energy and charisma to the screen. The film, set in a rugged Tamil Nadu backdrop, is packed with gripping action, explosive fist fights, and mass appeal moments that have captivated audiences across the globe.

Known for his dynamic performances, Rajinikanth yet again proves that age is no barrier to delivering box office gold. At 74, he continues to dominate the screen with powerful dialogues, high-octane fight sequences, and a magnetic presence that keeps fans “on the edge of their seats.”

While Coolie continues to perform exceptionally in India, it has also made history internationally — especially in North America — as one of the top-grossing Indian films overseas. With its smuggling-driven plot, stylized action, and cinematic flair, the film has struck a chord with audiences of all ages.

This marks a new chapter in Rajinikanth’s illustrious career, adding another feather to his cap alongside his iconic roles in Robot, Kabali, and Jailer.

Coolie is not just a movie — it’s a testament to Rajinikanth’s timeless appeal and his unbeatable mass stardom.
