of
the
release
of
his
much-talked
about
film
Kochadaiiyaan,
cinematic
icon

on
Monday
(May
5)
joined
Twitter
to
make
his
presence
felt
in
the
digital
world.
He
says
he's
looking
forward
to
catch
up
on
the
"best
Rajini
one-liners".
He
will
engage

"I
decided
to
start
with
Twitter
because
I
felt
that
the
platform
is
abuzz
with
all
the
news
and
the
trends
that
happen
across
the
globe
and
I'm
told
that
this
is
where
all
the
best
Rajini
one-liners
are," the
63-year-old
said
in
a
statement.
One
of
India's
most
prolific
and
influential
superstars,
Rajinikanth's
mass
popularity
and
appeal
is
largely
drawn
from
his
mannerisms
and
stylised
dialogue
delivery.
The
usually
reticent
star
is
looking
forward
to
interacting
with
his
fans
on
the
platform.
