  • His great performance in "Marupakkam" got him nominated for Best Actor at National level but the award finally went to Amitabh.
  • Generally he has never acted without moustache except in Devotional/religious films ; But one exception is "Poovum Puyalum"in which he has acted as a doctor without moustache.
  • The only film he acted in a villainish role was Bhuvana Oru Kaelvikkuri ; Film critics felt that it was ironical because Rajnikanth who used to act as villain in his early days played the hero role in this movie.
  • In an interview for a popular Tamil Weekly-Magazine, the Actor has said that " performing yoga, doing regular exercises, being a tee-totaller and having Oil-bath during weekends has helped him to maintain youthful personality ".
  • At one point of time , he became popular and impeccable in acting as a person with two lovers/wives . Films like Sindhu Bhairavi,Karpoora Deepam,Kanmaniyae Paesu,Marupakkam etc are noteworthy in this aspect. Films like "Mudhal Mariyadhai" and "Chinna Veedu" which dwelt on similar theme were released in the same time.
