Superstar Rajinikanth requests fans not to celebrate his birthday

Chennai: Superstar Rajinikanth, who will turn 66 on December 12, has requested his fans not to celebrate his birthday.

"Rajinikanth requests his fans not to celebrate his birthday," his manager Riaz Ahmed tweeted on Friday.

He added that Rajinikanth asked his fans not to put up posters and banners.

It is believed that Rajinikanth has taken this decision as a mark of respect to former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa who passed away earlier this week.

On the career front, the 65-year-old actor is busy shooting for Shankar's magnum opus, '2.o'.
