A die-hard fan of Rajinikanth in Madurai has taken his admiration to a whole new level—by building a temple for the superstar in his own home.

The fan, Karthik, converted a section of his house into a shrine and installed a 250 kg statue of Rajinikanth. Calling the actor “God,” Karthik expressed that this gesture is a mark of respect and devotion. Even his daughter, Anushiya, shares the same admiration for Thalaiva.

Rajinikanth, fondly called Thalaiva, has an unmatched fan following due to his charisma and legendary cinematic contributions. The fan’s extraordinary tribute comes just as excitement builds for Rajinikanth’s upcoming film, ‘Thalaivar 170’, directed by TJ Gnanavel. The movie also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, and Dushara Vijayan.

Produced by Lyca Productions, with music by Anirudh Ravichander, the film is highly anticipated by fans across India.

This story highlights the intense devotion some fans feel for their idols—where admiration turns into a lifelong, tangible tribute. In Madurai, Rajinikanth isn’t just an actor; for some, he is revered like a deity.
