Big B, Modi wish Rajinikanth on his birthday 

New Delhi: Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and megastar Amitabh Bachchan wished superstar Rajinikanth on his 66th birthday on Monday.

"Happy birthday Rajinikanth! Wishing you a long life filled with good health," Modi tweeted on Monday.

Meanwhile Big B tweeted "It is Rajinikanth's birthday on Dec 12 and we wish him greater glory, happiness and good health." Both Rajinikanth and Sr. Bachchan have worked together in films such as "Hum", 'Geraftaar" and "Andhaa Kaanoon".

They've remained good friends over the years. Rajinikanth, meanwhile, has requested his fans to not celebrate his birthday as a token of respect for former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa, who passed away last week. On the career front, Rajinikanth is busy shooting for Shankar's magnum opus, "2.O".
