Rajini is a good actor. But not the Bollywood type of machoism or super energetic type of SRK. Watch the differentiating roles he enacted in Tillu-Mullu (Tamil Version of Amol Palekar's Golmaal). Right from his first appearances in Tamil Movies, he has been a super hit. His "Idu eappidi Irukku" ("How's it" in Tamil) in 16 Vayadinile (At the age of 16)was in everyone's lips in late 70s. His mannerism - more than acting skills stole all our hearts. But he too has given flops. Spacing between his movies and the amount of thought going in to each and every scene in his movies, differentiate between his and other movies. Because stakes are high. His being the super star of India is 90 % hype and 10% truth.
