Rajinikanth made his film debut in the 70s.
Filmed on Amitabh Bachchan and Amjad Khan, a song ‘Tere Jaisa Yaar Kahan …’ fits perfectly on a person. This is the person who gave a superstar like Rajinikanth to the cinema world. The man made many sacrifices to make Rajinikanth a hero. If you are thinking that we are talking about an actor, director or producer, then we are not talking about the driver who helped to make Rajinikanth a superstar by cutting his stomach and even after 55 years, Thalaiva could not take the loan of this man.
Who made Rajinikanth a superstar?
Today we tell you about Rajinikanth’s best friend, who helped him in difficult times and played the most important role in getting Thalaiva fame and name. Even though the world knows Thalaiva by the name of Rajinikanth, he was always Shivaji for his friend. These friends of Rajinikanth used to work as a bus driver and their name is Raj Bahadur.
How did Rajinikanth meet Raj Bahadur?
In fact, before stepping into the film world, Rajinikanth used to work as a bus conductor to meet his everyday needs. His economic condition forced him to do different things to run his house. In 1970, Rajinikanth met Raj Bahadur. He then worked in Bangalore Transport Services. Soon Rajinikanth and Raj Bahadur became good friends.
Raj Bahadur recognized Rajinikanth’s talent
Raj Bahadur recognized the hidden talent inside Rajinikanth and asked him to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor. However, Rajinikanth was hesitant to step into the film world due to economic problems. Because, he felt that if he was also able to lose his job as a bus conductor and could not even become an actor, then how would they run expenses. On this, Raj Bahadur assured him of help and also helped.

Raj Bahadur used to send half salary to Rajinikanth
Raj became the support of Rajinikanth in difficult times and enrolled him in the film institute. After this, he would send half his salary to Rajinikanth every month, so that he could pay his fees and run his expenses. In those days, Raj Bahadur used to get a salary of Rs 400, but keeping his needs, desires, he chose to help his best friend Rajinikanth and played the most important role in fulfilling his dream of becoming a hero. This is the reason that even though Rajinikanth has become a superstar today, he used to share the same relationship with Raj Bahadur, who used to do before becoming an actor. The two have more brothers relationship than friendship.
