Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth posts a picture of her father Rajinikanth, and celebrates ‘Happy “Rajinikanth” Day Shivaji Rao #holi #appa remembering #Balachander thatha #gratefuleveryday.’
It’s a special day for the family, as it was on this day that the late K Balachander rechristened the then 25-year-old Shivaji Rao Gaikwad as Rajinikanth, when he made his debut in the Tamil director’s 1975 film, Apoorva Raagangal.
