Posting a picture of himself with a Rajinikanth tattoo on his chest, Harbhajan wrote a few lines in Tamil which when roughly translated means, "I have Superstar on my chest. You were the Billa of the eighties. You were the Basha of the nineties. You were the Annaaththe of 2k. My sweet birthday greetings to the one and only superstar of cinema."

The tweet, in less than an hour, received over 13,000 likes and soon became a topic of discussion among Rajini fans.

Apart from Harbhajan Singh, scores of celebrities from politics, film industry, and sports have been sending in their birthday greetings to Rajinikanth.
