Mumbai: Here is another first for Tamil superstar Rajinikanth -- @SuperStarRajini
Ahead of his next mega film 'Kochadaiiyaan' on Friday, the superstar joined social networking site Twitter to make his presence felt in the digital world. He said, with tonuge firmly in cheek, "am looking forward to catching up with the best Rajini one-liners".
His handle is @SuperStarRajini.
The 63-year-old said in a statement: "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."
While almost God-like on screen, with his prolific mannerisms and dramatic dialogues, the otherwise reticent superstar says he is now ready to interact with his fans on this platform.
He said: "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."
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," the superstar said.
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."
What's in store for fans? Those 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. It is touted the country's first 'photo-realistic performance capture' movie.
