He was recently felicitated with a lifetime achievement award at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa where he received a standing ovation from top celebrities from across languages who were present in the hall. Speaking at the event, he said, "If I look back, it seems like I've just been acting for around for 10 to 15 years and that's because I love cinema and acting. Even if I were to have 100 janmam (births), I would like to be born as an actor, as Rajinikanth. Thank you for love and affection," he said, adding, "All this honour goes to Cinema Industry people and mainly Ennai Vaazhaveikum Dheivangalana Tamil Makkal (The Tamil people, the gods who keep me alive)."
