Available for 2 days

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.
