He began life as a bus conductor, but today Rajnikanth is known as the "emperor" of South Indian cinema. Although nearing 60, he still plays the leading man and is a draw from Durban to Tokyo. He's enhanced India-Japanese ties with his popularity, and his most recent Indo-Japanese venture was a hit. He's India's highest-paid actor and his latest showcase, released on June 15, Sivaji (The Boss), is the most expensive film ever made in Bollywood, with a budget estimated at around $24 million. It grossed more than $4 million in his home state in the first couple of days.
