Ok, so the article is written in a little condescending manner, the analogy to Chuck Norris is funny ("Rajinikanth was bitten by a cobra. After four days of intense suffering, the snake died"), the gripes about
...but the ending is amazing: "Laugh at him all you like, but on Oct. 1 Rajinikanth is going to play a robot onscreen in Enthiran, and it is going to gross all the money in the world. Because Rajinikanth, like a Tamil Nadu Cyrano de Bergerac, is the epitome of manly Indian style and, like Cyrano, when one day he goes to his grave, he'll cling to the one thing they can't take away from him, the one thing that has mattered most to him in his life: his panache..."
(The actual quote from Rostand's Cyrano de Bergerac is
" ... yet there is something still that will always be mine, and when I go to God's presence, there I'll doff it and sweep the heavenly pavement with a gesture — something I'll take unstained out of this world ... my panache...) ".
