Cinematic icon Rajinikanth Monday joined Twitter to make his
presence felt in the digital world. He says he's looking forward to catch up on
the "best Rajini one-liners".
He will engage with his fans via his handle @SuperStarRajini.
"I decided to start with Twitter because I felt that the
platform is abuzz with all the news and the trends that happen across the globe
and I'm told that this is where all the best Rajini one-liners are," the
63-year-old said in a statement.
One of India's most prolific and influential superstars,
Rajinikanth's mass popularity and appeal is largely drawn from his mannerisms and
stylised dialogue delivery. The usually reticent star is looking forward to
interacting with his fans on the platform.
"I've always believed that my career graph is a miracle
I owe my fans. I have been contemplating joining the social media platform for
a while to connect with them, hear what they have to say and share my thoughts.
Unfortunately, I never got around to it until now," he said.
Thalaivar, as he is lovingly called, has partnered with CA
Media Digital's first venture, Fluence - a celebrity digital network, which
will manage his digital presence.
"I am confident that I have the best team and the best
guides who will help me connect with my audience," said the superstar.
Twitter's India Market director Rishi Jaitly said: "We
welcome Rajinikanth to Twitter, are happy to support his launch on the
platform, and look forward to watching him use our mobile service to engage in
live, public conversations with fans and other icons around the world."
To make Rajinikanth's debut on Twitter more exciting, fans
from all over the world, who follow him on @SuperStarRajini in the first week,
will receive a 'WelcomeGraph', a personalised welcome picture from the icon.
His new film "Kochadaiiyaan", directed by his
younger daughter Soundarya R. Ashwin, is releasing Friday. Touted as the
country's first 'photo-realistic performance capture' movie, the movie has
generated interest with its new format.
