All of you must have heard of this man, Raj Bahadur. We have to thank him profusely for persuading Rajinikanth to come to Madras and pursue a career in acting. If not for his persuasion and support, we do not know whether Superstar would have made the journey down south. Raj Bahadur was the driver of the Bangalore transport corporation bus in which Rajini worked as the conductor. He was one of the first to spot the actor in Rajinikanth. He is also one of Superstar’s closest friends, one who has a lot of freedom to talk with Superstar. Another close friend of Rajini outside the film circle is a person named Gandhi works in the Accounts General Office. It is said that they talk on the phone almost everyday.
