Rajinikanth’s Journey From A Bus Conductor To Becoming India’s Highest Paid Superstar

He made a comeback with ‘Billa’, which was remake of Bollywood film, ‘Don’. His double role made the film a huge commercial success. ‘Billa’ was followed by a row of hits like ‘Murattukaalai’, ‘Pokkiri Raja’, ‘Thanikattu Raja’, ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’, ‘Pudukavithai’ and ‘Moondru Mugam‘. K. Balachander’s first home production, ‘Netrikan’ proved to be yet another milestone in Rajinikanth’s career.

In 1983, Rajinikanth made his Bollywood debut with ‘Andha Kanoon’ along with Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. The film was well received and went on to become the highest-grossing film at that time. Since their first film together, Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan have shared a great friendship and worked together in Hindi films such as ‘Geraftaar’ and ‘Hum’. His other Bollywood movies were ‘Chalbaaz’ , ‘Insaaniyat Ke Devta’, ‘Gangvaa’, ‘John Jani Janardhan’, and many more.
