When someone takes Rajinikanth's name in front of you, what's the first thing that comes to his mind? It could either be some of his trademark mannerisms. Like the cigarette flipping that he did in some of his earlier movies. Maybe you remember some of that ludicrous stunts in his movies that only Rajinikanth can make it look natural. Or it could be his dialogues, or rather punchlines, without which, a Rajinikanth film can't really be the same. Thalaivar 168 Cast: Meena, Keerthy Suresh, Khushbu Join Rajinikanth Starrer; View Pics from Puja Ceremony.

Even since he made his mark with K Balachander's 1975 film  Apoorva Raagangal, the Marathi-born actor has made his naughty smirk and powerful one-liners a trend. It doesn't matter whether he played a villain, like in the early phase of his career, or as a hero - the punchlines had to be awesome. Movies like Muthu, Annamalai, Padayappa, Sivaaji, Kabali, Kaala are proof enough! Writing dialogues for this legend is a creative challenge enough for the writers, and most of them do hit the bulls-eye. Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan to Reunite For a Movie after 40 Years in a Lokesh Kanagaraj Directorial?
