As he turns 75, Pritt spins some of Rajnikanth's most iconic tracks from the late '90s to now from movies including Coolie, Enthiran, Kabali, Shivaji, Jailer, Baasha and others.

As he turns 75, Pritt celebrates the unstoppable force that is actor Rajinikanth - Tamil cinema’s ultimate Thalaivar and global phenomenon. With a career spanning nearly five decades and over 160 films, Rajnikanth transformed himself from a humble bus conductor in Bangalore into an unparalleled superstar with an unmatched, almost spiritual connection to his fans.

With his signature swagger, the iconic sunglasses flick, the gravity-defying hair flip, and the punchy dialogues that fans use as inspirational quotes, Rajnikanth proves that age is just a number when it comes to being a box-office draw.

In this one-hour special, Pritt spins some of his most iconic tracks from the late '90s to now from movies including Coolie, Enthiran, Kabali, Shivaji, Jailer, Baasha and so many others.
