Rajinikanth is turning a year older or a year younger as the fans would like to say, on 12 December. The superstar is celebrating his 69th birthday and like the last few years he is out of town on his special day and not meeting his legion of well-wishers.

As a result, the Tamil superstar's next movie, presently referred to as Thalaivar 168, was launched a day before his birthday. In the last couple of years, Rajinikanth will be out of town and avoid meeting his fans.

He likes to have a quiet and simple birthday without much fanfare. Rajinikanth had also sent a message to his fans that he would not be in town to avoid the fans from different parts of the state coming to his Poes Garden house to meet him.

Nonetheless, his fans clubs across the South India will do charity works for his well-being.

On the other hand, the social media sites are bombarded with the birthday wishes from across the world. On Twitter, people are sending their wishes to Rajinikanth using the hash tag - #HBDSuperstarRajinikanth.

Check out tweets posted by celebs wishing the Tamil superstar:
