Superstar Rajinikanth Still Feels Like a Bus Conductor

Superstar Rajinikanth, at 75, continues to hold a deep connection to his past life as a bus conductor, even after achieving immense fame in cinema. He expressed that he loved his five years as a conductor in Bengaluru more than acting and still misses that time, stating he believes he is fundamentally a conductor. The actor shared that he struggles to identify with his superstar image and finds happiness in visiting his old haunts.

Rajinikanth attributed his ability to play lead roles at his age to the immense love and support from his fans, calling them "gods." This fan devotion, he explained, encourages major production houses and directors like Nelson Dilipkumar to collaborate with him. He also reflected on the valuable lessons from his mentor, K Balachander, emphasizing the importance of continuous immersion in a character and maintaining a positive mindset throughout life's challenges.
