It has been 45 years since megastar Rajinikanth has been ruling over the Indian cinema. Fans and followers from all across have been sharing images and videos to celebrate #45YearsOfRajinismCDP. 

The hype is so real that even the Indian Premier League (IPL) side Chennai Super Kings (CSK) also got involved to wish the iconic South star on his special day.

Addressing all the wishes on social media, Rajinikanth took to Twitter and wrote a long post expressing his thoughts over this landmark day.

"On this day, which marks the forty - fifth anniversary of my theatrical journey, my heartfelt thanks go out to all the good hearts who greeted me and to the fan base of the gods who keep me alive," he said in a tweet.

என்னுடைய திரையுலகப் பயணத்தின் நாற்பத்தைந்து ஆண்டுகள் நிறைவு பெறும் இந்நாளில், என்னை வாழ்த்திய நல் இதயங்களுக்கும், என்னை வாழ வைக்கும் தெய்வங்களான ரசிகப் பெருமக்களுக்கும், என்னுடைய இதயம் கனிந்த நன்றி. #நீங்கள்_இல்லாமல்_நான்_இல்லை
