Way before memes and viral sensations, the country had Rajinikanth. As the Tamil megastar turns 70, fans didn’t wish him a happy birthday, instead, wrote. “Dear Birthday, Happy Rajinikanth to you!”. When the internet was booming in India, Rajni’s inimitable style of wearing sunglasses by throwing them up in the air or stopping a bullet with his hand made fans believe there is nothing Rajinikanth cannot do. This led to Thalaiva becoming the first internet celebrity and years after he still remains the favourite topic of the netizens to let their imagination or humour run wild. The time and tested genre of ‘Rajinikanth jokes’ in India which tickled everyone’s funny bones over the years became part of the country’s pop culture.
The popularity of Rajinikanth jokes was so high that telecom companies used to have Rajni jokes pack which a user can subscribe to. Not to forget, the hilarious Thalaiva animation advertisements that caught the imagination of the viewers and skyrocketed the popularity of the brands. Whether it was proving Einstein wrong by running faster than the speed of light or coaching superman and batman, there is hardly anything Thala can’t do, albeit in jest.
Watch these brilliant animated ads of Shivaji star that will make you chuckle even on your low days –
