Throwback: When Rajinikanth wanted to marry Sridevi but did not go ahead with his plan due to a bad omen

As a die-hard fan of Superstar Rajinikanth, I find it absolutely fascinating to delve into his intriguing past and uncover hidden gems of information that many are not privy to. One such revelation that recently came to light is Rajini’s deep connection with the late acting legend Sridevi.


In India, Rajinikanth, the renowned superstar, is celebrated for his unforgettable performances in films. It may come as a shock to some that he once publicly declared his wish to marry the late acting sensation, Sridevi.

Based on my understanding of the text, I’ve had the chance to observe and learn about the intricacies of the Indian film industry from a close perspective. One fascinating fact that has always intrigued me is the unique bond shared between Sridevi and an actor who was thirteen years her senior. Their relationship was characterized by mutual respect and deep affection, with the elder actor often acting as a protective guardian towards Sridevi.

Did you know Rajinikanth once wished to marry Sridevi?

Since 1976, Rajinikanth and Sridevi have acted together in films. In their first project, Moondru Mudichu, a 13-year-old Sridevi made her debut as the female lead. In this movie, Rajinikanth portrayed the villain, while Sridevi took on the role of his stepmother, seeking vengeance against him.

Through the years, the two actors formed a deep connection, collaborating in a total of 19 films across multiple languages. The actor was not only close friends with Sridevi’s mother but is said to have requested her hand in marriage.

In an earlier interview, K Balachander shared that the superstar had visited Sridevi’s home with the intention of proposing marriage to her. But as they arrived during her Griha Pravesh (housewarming) ceremony, an unexpected power outage left the area shrouded in darkness.

After spotting this, Rajinikanth had a gut feeling it portended ill fortune and chose to depart without disclosing his plans for marriage. Regardless of the failed marriage proposal to the actress, the renowned actor maintained their friendship. It’s evident that Rajinikanth harbored affection for the actress, but her sentiments in this matter remain unclear.

Rajinikanth’s Workfront

In October this year, the film “Vettaiyan” will be released, with Rajinikanth as the next star to grace the screen. This movie is helmed by director TJ Gnanavel and boasts an impressive lineup of actors including Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, among others, who have pivotal roles in the production.

The actor is working on the film “Coolie” with actors Sathyaraj and Shruti Haasan, marking his initial project with director Lokesh Kanagaraj.
