Rajinokanth: Actor or just a star?

[kal]

No good looks

Not an exceptional actor

Not a dancer

Cannot deliver lengthy dialogues

No disrespect to him, we all love Rajini and his movies and most importantly his personality outside the movie but ever wonder how he became famous? 

Kastapadi paiki vachadu anedi not true endukante earlier generation actors andaru kastapade paiki vacharu..

are we just following the flow and liking Rajini, kolaveridi, gangnam style..etc

please enlighten me

Charisma, wherever he is he steals the show... you tend to ignore others when he is on screen

Correct.

Acting, dance, delivering lengthy monologues like Balayya are all secondary to screen presence. 

Rajni has an outstanding screen presence that's about it.
