Superstar Rajinikanth follows a policy of not acting in commercials. Let’s see why in this collection.
Taking advantage of the influence that movie celebrities have among the masses, various corporate companies are casting them in their company advertisements.
For this, the actors are being paid crores of salary. Starting from cricketers like Sachin and Dhoni to leading film stars, they are still earning crores by acting in numerous commercials.
Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada and other leading actors from the South Indian film industry are also regularly acting in such commercials. But it can be said that Tamil film stars stand out from it.
Leading actors like Vijay, Ajith, Suriya, Kamal have acted in a few commercials in the past but now they have flatly refused to act in them.
We have seen all the above Tamil actors acting in advertisements, but Rajinikanth, who is crawling as a superstar in the Tamil film industry, has never been seen in an advertisement. In the early days, he acted only in an advertisement for a soft drink called Palm Cola. He has also acted in government awareness advertisements. It is extra special that he acted without getting paid.
Rajinikanth did not act in any other commercials apart from a single soft drink commercial in the initial period. If he wants to, he can earn crores through advertisements. But Rajini has been keeping it as a principle that he should not act in advertisements considering that he should not promote anything wrongly to people.
Famous car company BMW is one of the companies that approached Rajinikanth to act in their advertisements. The company was ready to pay up to Rs 200 crores to Rajini to act for their company.
But Rajini, who does not consider money as an object, said no. Similarly, Rajini refused with his trademark laugh when a famous clothing store owner offered him up to Rs 30 crore for three days to act in his store advertisement. Such qualities have made him a superstar among people.
