India, Nov. 19 -- For most of us, Rajinikanth, the superstar of Tamil cinema, is known as a man who redefined style onscreen. For others, he is a larger-than-life hero, and for most, he is the man who put South cinema on the Indian map. Of course, Rajinikanth is all of this. But beyond the swag and charisma is the man who is known for his versatility.
