Tamil actors with the biggest fan base

Rajinikanth
Superstar Rajinikanth, also popularly known as Thalaivar, has been the most popular celebrity in Tamil cinema. From working as a bus conductor to emerging as a star of South cinema, Rajinikanth is one of the most respected actors. Rajini sir’s style and charisma have rewarded him with a huge fan base that stretches not just within the state boundaries, but cross border as well. The superstar’s films are always lauded with paalabhishekams and he is literally worshipped by his fans. In fact, a die-hard fan fell prey to a rumour of Rajini sir in dire need of a kidney. The fan reportedly popped in sleeping pills to end his life so his kidney would come to Thalaivar’s aid.

Ilayathalapathy Vijay
Vijay has been blessed by a huge fan base that stretches to the rural South villages as well. Several of his films coincide with the concept of village troubles and him being the knight in shining armour. This has earned him a huge fan base all over South. It is noticed that many of Vijay’s fans have a clash of interest with that of Ajith’s fans. Vijay’s fans have also performed extreme stunts while worshipping the actor. One such fanaticism resulted in a sad demise as the fan was performing paalabhishekam on the poster of Vijay’s blockbuster hit, Kaththi.

Ajith Kumar
Enthroned by dashing looks and physique, Ajith has also acquired a huge fan base in South. Predominantly working in Tamil cinema, this celebrity has also witnessed crazy fan moments. Ajith gained critical recognition for his thriller film Aasai in 1995. Ajith is also a race car driver and holds a high passion for it. Ajith’s fans and Vijay’s fans lock horns as the competition is quite tight as to who is better. If we think about it, the two have only been seen in one film two decades ago, in Rajavin Paravaiyile.

Kamal Hassan
Kamal Hassan has always been praised for his eccentric films and the plot that they hold. We have always witnessed Kamal doing roles that challenge his talent. The actor always gives a phenomenal performance and it is this factor that has earned him a huge fan base. Kamal’s life has been media’s favourite because of the controversies he is embroiled in. In his recent release, Uttama Villain, the actor was again attacked with controversial arrows aiming at one of the songs from the film.

Suriya
Saravanan Sivakumar, popularly known as Suriya, is one of the most talented actors of South. He not only excels in looks and physique, but also his acting skills that make him a complete package. Suriya’s looks have charmed many, and his philanthropy and love for his family just make him one of the most desired men. The Ghajini actor has been lauded for his performance and has also garnered critical acclaim.
