Later, the actor was named after Maratha warrior ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji. Rajinikanth was the fourth child of Jijabai and Ramojirao Gaikwad. His father was a police constable. His mother died when he was eight. Early in his career, while doing a stage play at the Madras Film Institute, Rajinikanth, whose mother tongue is Marathi, was advised by noted filmmaker K Balachander to learn Tamil. He mastered the language soon and thus began his celluloid journey which made him a demigod. Rajinikanth was presented with Indian cinema's highest honour The Dadasaheb Phalke Award on May 3.
