Rajinikanth is the torchbearer for the actors of this generation. This became evident in a recent event organized to honor Vijay. He received the award for his splendid performance in Ghilli. The show’s emcee asked him the secret of his youthfulness and he credited his mother and wife for it. He said that he was free to concentrate on his career leaving aside the pressures of running the home.

Since his mind felt free of all burdens, his persona was youthful. The host shot another question about the rising comedy element in his portrayals and the Ilaya thalapathy acknowledged the profound influence our Superstar had on him. Vijay said that Rajini has achieved much success after he incorporated comedy in his roles and he was following the same technique.
