Rajinikanth
received
the
Centenary
Award
for
Indian
Film
Personality
of
the
Year
yesterday
in
Goa
at
the
45th
International
Film
Festival
Of
India.
Rajinikanth
who
referred
Big
B
as
his
elder
brother
did
not
hesitate
to
take
blessings
from
India's
biggest
star
Amitabh
Bachchan.
Rajinikanth
who
also
was
apparently
overwhelmed
while
receiving
the
award
couldn't
hold
back
his
tears.
Rajinikanth
said,
"I
came
here
to
receive
an
award
and
not
to
make
a
speech
that
too
after
such
an
excellent
speech
by
Amit
Ji.
I
have
no
words
to
speak
now.
About
5
to
6
times,
I
couldn't
make
it
to
the
IFFI
before.
This
time
I
am
fortunate
and
honored
to
receive
such
a
prestigious
award.
I
thank
the
Government
of
India
and
the
Ministry
of
Information
and
Broadcasting.
I
dedicate
this
award
to
all
my
producers,
directors,
technicians
and
fans.
Thank
you
very
much".
Rajinikanth's
simplicity
and
humility
is
known
to
all
and
it
was
a
heart
touching
gesture
from
Superstar
when
he
displayed
his
affection
towards
his
senior
actor
Amitabh
Bachchan.
It
is
to
be
noted
that
Rajinikanth
has
openly
showcased
his
respect
towards
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
the
past
by
asking
the
media
not
to
compare
him
with
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
he
also
referred
Mr
Bachchan
as
an
Emperor
while
he
would
take
the
position
of
a
King
when
it
comes
to
Indian
Cinema.
The
Lingaa
star
has
also
said
that
he
doesn't
want
to
talk
about
politics
when
he
was
asked
about
the
possibilities
of
making
politics
as
his
career
in
the
near
future
as
there
were
news
that
Rajini
might
enter
politics
after
his
speech
at
the
Lingaa
audio
launch.
