Rajini,
the
Super
Star
of
South
cinema
always
manages
to
prove
himself
different.
Not
only
in
the
acting
style,
his
taste
and
preferences
are
also
totally
different.
When
a
hero
gives
2
or
3
hit
films,
immediately
he
fancies
himself
as
the
next
Chief
Minister
of
Tamil
Nadu.
But
Rajinikanth,
the
one
and
only
real
Superstar,
would
rather
settle
in
The
Himalayas
and
keep
himself
far
away
from
the
'polluted'
metro.
But
he
has
some
unfulfilled
wishes
too.
While
he
was
still
young
in
the
film
industry,
Rajini
enjoyed
his
lonely
life
and
made
midnight
trips
on
his
Bullet
Motorcycle,
as
is
remembered
by
actress
Radhika.
Many
times
he
made
trips
to
Bangalore
or
to
the
North
in
a
train
as
an
anonymous
person
wearing
ordinary
clothes.
Two
years
ago,
he
paid
a
visit
to
the
holy
Baba
Caves
in
the
Himalayas,
and
preferred
to
travel
by
train.
Although he likes to travel by train, his superstar image does not allow him to do so publicly.To fulfill his wishes, he purchased 3 A/C coaches from The Indian Railways and made every effort to run the same inside his Kelambakkam farmhouse! Sources say that Rajini purchased these coaches from Trichy Railway Division at a public auction sale. One of the coaches has already arrived in a container to his farmhouse. One can see the coach just before the main entrance. Since there is no possibility of seeing a train in and around the East Coast area, it is completely a different spectacle to the people of that village. The nearest Railway Station is Chengalpattu, which is very far from the coastal area.
This farmhouse is located at East Coast Road, 40 kms from Chennai. It is spread over more than 5 acres. According to the sources, Rajini purchased this land in the early nineties at a cheaper rate. Now the cost of the land will fetch around Rs.10 crores. The work of paving platforms is going on inside the farmhouse, and a 'mini' railway station is also being built. The villagers residing nearby are passing on 'information' to every visitor, with the surprise story about the 'farmhouse train'.
