In a statement posted Thursday on the microblogging site, the 70-year-old cinema icon had dedicated the award to his friend, bus driver Raj Bahadur, elder brother Sathyanarayana Rao Gaekwad and all those who made him the superstar that he is now.

“I dedicate this award to my friend and bus driver Raj Bahadur, who discovered my acting talent and encouraged me, my elder brother Sathyanarayana Rao Gaekwad, who sacrificed a lot to make me an actor while struggling with poverty, my guru K Balachander, who created this Rajinikanth,” he had said.

Rajinikanth also remembered his producers, directors, technicians, distributors, theatre owners, media, Tamil people, ‘who have given me my life, and my fans across the world’.

Rajinikanth’s real name is Shivaji Rao Gaekwad. He tried his hand at several odd jobs before landing as a bus conductor. He soon quit the job to pursue his acting dreams.

It was noted director K Balachander who spotted Rajinikanth at a film institute. He roped him to star in his 1975 film Apoorva Ragangal. The director also gave the actor his screen name Rajinikanth. The actor icon has delivered several super hit films such as Billa, Muthu, Sivaji and Enthiran, among others. He has also starred in Bollywood movies such as Hum, Andha Kanoon, Bhagwaan Dada, Aatank hi Aatank and Chaalbaaz.
