Rajini as a beggar

This is not a role in a new film, but a page from Superstar's life.
In his recently released biography 'The name is Rajnikanth’ there is an interesting anecdote. Post-'Sivaji', the actor was so overwhelmed by its success that he wanted to visit a temple in Bangalore. But his friend warned him that his presence there would cause a stampede. To avoid this, Rajni decided to go there in a disguise... dressed in a crumpled shirt and a simple veshti, and a shawl to cover his head, a dental prosthetic in place, the actor limped toward the temple as an old man!
So authentic was his appearance that a lady at the temple mistook him for a beggar and gave him a ten-rupee note. The actor for once did not show his surprise but continued his act. He went into the temple, took the lord's blessings and even dropped a hundred rupee note in the Hundial. When the lady saw this she was shocked. Imagine her surprise when she saw Rajni get into a posh car after the darshan. She apologised profusely and even wanted to take back the money she gave him.
But the Superstar, humble as he is, said that it was God's way of telling him however rich and famous he got, he was still a beggar at the feet of the Almighty. He kept the note with him as his most cherished possession.
