There are few Americans unaware of the cult of Chuck Norris. I’m sure you have heard or read the jokes. For example, Chuck Norris’ tears cure cancer, too bad he’s never cried. Or, there is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist. Classic stuff, but what you probably aren’t aware of is that India has its very own Chuck Norris – the Tamil film star Rajinikanth. He's India’s highest paid actor and has a cult-like following here unlike anything I have ever seen before. He also has his own set of Chuck Norris-esque jokes and I’m bombarded with them on a daily basis. A few examples:
Rajinikanth’s calendar goes straight from March 31st to April 2nd, no one fools Rajinikanth.
Once a cobra bit Rajinikanth’s leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
Rajinikanth doesn’t wear a watch. He decides what time it is.
Yeah, it’s pretty much the same stuff but for more read here.
Anyway, not everyone here is sold on Rajinikanth’s talents. I give you my coworker Anand -- great interview buddy.
