The country has perhaps just two cine stars who enjoy pan-India appeal – Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth. Despite their legendary status, both are extremely down-to-earth and humble. And their birthdays are like national celebrations with not just fans but people from all walks of life wishing them.
Rajinikanth turned 66 today and it didn't take long for the wishes to pour in. Amitabh Bachchan was among the first to greet his good friend by posting a few tweets.

Currently, there is, perhaps, no bigger Rajinikanth fan than Akshay Kumar, who plays the antagonist in 2.0. The 'Khiladi' lavished wholesome praise on the superstar.
