Happy Birthday Rajnikanth - You Make Everything Go Viral

Did y’all mark your calendar for 12/12/2014? If not, today is the THE day for the Superstar of all superstars, Rajini. It is Rajinikanth’s first ever movie release on the occasion of his 64^th birthday which is turning out to be quite the event for his huge fan base. Megastar Rajinikanth is a phenomenon that rules a million hearts especially in the south. Usually for occasions like his birthday and movie releases, fans resort to doing poojas and pouring milk over his movie posters to bring luck (as if Rajini needed any luck).

However with the superstar's latest movie up lined up for release today, fans were eagerly waiting to get their hands on tickets to watch Lingaa on its first day of release on 12 December. Hopefuls who covet the first day first show tickets have gone ahead and applied leave. Usually people fake sickness and make up leave notices in advance to catch their favorite movie, but in the case of Rajini, some of these people have truthfully stated their reason of leave as “Rajinikanth’s Birthday”. Surely their bosses have to MIND IT.

Have a look at some of the bold and straightforward leave letters that have achieved viral status on social media.
