What makes him charismatic?

A lovely thread and fresh discussion started, thank you...

Frankly speaking, I don't know.
I don't think he is talented...but I admire him for his simplicity.
We can never find a mega star like this.....who appears in public with bald head and grey hair. He is 62 or 63. Yet he call pull a crowd, that's his influence on Tamil movies....

I think, people love him for his style.......Manik Baashaa....
I loved his role in veera .....(later remade to Hindi as Sajan chale sasural of Govinda)

No, he's not an epitome of histrionics. He's a crowd puller. More than his acting talents, i love his dancing talents. His body is lithe his movements are subtle.

One more thing....he choose roles easily digestable by common man...
That's why common man see a God or superman in him

Looks are significant only till you get success, name and fame. when you are acknowledged and everyone knows you, how you look and what you wear loses significance. Let me here narrate anecdote from life of Henry Ford, a famous American industrialist. Once he was to attend a meeting. His secretary advised him to buy a new dress. Henry Ford asked whether he is known in America. On hearing 'yes', he told that what he wears is not important because all know him. A few days later, Henry ford went to England. Secretary again asked him to get new dress. Ford asked whether he was well known in England. On hearing 'no', he said that he need not get a new dress as nobody knows him.

Initially I thought it was SP Balasubramanyam....But Rajnaikant (hope my guess is right) Is an institution by himself, very much like Amitabh Bachhan . I personally cannot sit through all of his films like the recent Sivaji, but he is a good actor no doubt about that.I liked and enjoyed watching his earlier spooky thriller Chandramukhi...esp his laka laka laka LOL...

He has some magic or attraction in his personality. Whatever be the role, he plays it at the best, on the screen. He ha made us crazy. He will also make the next generation, crazy. He is unique and different. He is ossom.

Yes I have seen his both the movies - "Shivaji" and "Chandramukhi". He was too good.
"Chandramukhi" was make again in bollywood as 'Bhool Bholaiya". Akshaye Kumar was given the role of the doctor which was played by Rajanikanth in "Chandramukhi". I liked Rajanikanth's acting. He acted like a doctor in reality. He was simply the best. I like his style, attitude and way be speaks the dialogue. :whistle: :woohoo:

He is a man of style. People been attracted by his unique style. He did all the actions like walking, seeing, smoking, dancing, delivering a dialogue, fighting in a unique style.

That says, he's not a stereo type. One of the greatest traits in an achiever is he does the things differently.

He's a star on the earth. Within reach of all. And that's the reason for his popularity.

He is charismatic only among the Tamils I feel. He is not such a big hit in North India. There are Rajnikanth jokes of him in North India. :blink:

Leonardo Da Vinci said "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." Being simple is not that easy when we have the wealth.

Ya sure, there are jokes about him in Hyderabad too but people dont take him seriously!

The style of Rajnikanth is very famous.Though he does not has a pleasant look but his acting and style makes his movies hit.

He has a unique style of his own and another secret is that he knows what all a common man wants.

Most south indian heroes don't have a pleasant look, but they become popular through their unique acting skills.

Looks are according to local climate, heredity and clan they come from, every one has a different view point. Maybe, the heroes form North Indian origin found laughing stock in down south. Looks are not important, Rajni is almost worshiped when the popularity or talent is considered, for his unique acting style allover the country for that matter. He has temple and fan clubs in his name.
