There are few actors who have been at the peak of their career ever since it started and perhaps will be till they retire. One such name is Rajnikanth – more than an actor, the man's considered a living God in South of India. It happens to be his 69th birthday today and we'd like to wish him. Yes, you guessed it right. We'll take a look at his collection of cars.

Premier Padmini: The humble Padmini is the first car superstar Rajnikanth bought and has owned it since the early 1980s. It is rather a delight that Thalaiva has had it maintained in top-notch condition. A Fiat originally, the Padmini was assembled in India by Premier Automobiles. Powered by a 1.1-litre engine, the Padmini is a rare one in the country now. (Image: Autocar India)
