Chennai, Jan. 14 -- A die-hard fan of Rajinikanth from Madurai marked the Pongal festival in a special way by offering prayers at a temple built for the superstar inside his own home.

Karthik, who considers himself as a huge fan of 'Thalaivar,' has been celebrating the harvest festival at this shrine with his family to show his love and respect for the actor.

The temple was set up a few years ago and houses a 300-kg idol of Rajinikanth. For Karthik, the actor is not just a film star but someone he worships like a god. During Pongal, the family observed traditional rituals and offered prayers at the temple, as in village celebrations.

Speaking to ANI, Karthik said the temple successfully celebrated Pongal for the third consecutive year....
