Superstar Rajinikanth. The name rings bells everywhere in the world, including countries like Japan and Malaysia. As the legendary actor stepped in Malaysia for “Kabali” shoot, the whole country lined up to meet him. From fans to police, politicians to biggies, everyone is queuing up to greet him and take selfies.
Recently Governor of Malacca state in Malaysia, Mohammad Khalil Yaakob, has met Superstar, and revealed that he is a big fan of the actor. Flattered by Rajni’s down-to-earth behaviour, he made a request to Malaysian government to honour him prestigious title “Datuk”, which is like a British Knighthood.
Reports are arriving that even Malaysian government responded positively for this move and is getting ready confer him with Royal Malaysian Title in a grand ceremony.
Long back, Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was honoured with Datuk, while recently Hollywood star Jackie Chan took the honours. After them, it’s Rajnikanth, to receive this honor.
