Rajinikanth’s acting career began with a brief period of portraying adversarial roles in Tamil films after his debut in K. Balachander’s 1975 Tamil drama Apoorva Raagangal. His enduring popularity has been linked to his distinctively fashioned dialogues and film idioms, as well as his political comments and philanthropy.

Rajinikanth worked as a coolie after finishing his schooling before joining the Bangalore Transport Service (BTS) as a bus conductor.
