This is what Rajinikanth tweeted before receiving Dadasaheb Phalke Award
Rajinikanth expressed his gratitude before receiving the Dadasaheb Phalke Award on Monday

In April this year, the former Minister of Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar had announced the government was going to confer the 51st Dadasaheb Phalke Award upon superstar Rajinikanth. And now, the day the Darbar actor receives the prestigious award is upon us. Ahead of the event on October 25, Rajinikanth expressed his feelings about the honor in a letter. Here are more details.

Gratitude
He called the 'special landmark' an 'important occasion'

Taking to Twitter, the Kaala star wrote Sunday: "Tomorrow is an important occasion for me with two special landmarks. One, 'Dadasaheb Phalke award,' being conferred upon me by the Government of India because of the love and support of the people (sic)." The second landmark, Rajinikanth mentioned, was his daughter Soundarya Vishagan launching her app "Hoote" on Monday.

After the announcement, Rajinikanth had expressed his "heartfelt thanks" to the government, adding, "I sincerely dedicate it to all those who have been a part of my journey."
