There are lot of people who speak about superstardom, but I'd like to say that it's not about any individual - it's about the opportunity.
Interpretation
Superstardom is not just about personal achievement, but rather about the opportunities that come to individuals.
In this quote, Rajinikanth emphasizes that the concept of superstardom transcends individual talent or fame. Instead, he highlights the importance of opportunities that allow people to shine and grow. It is the circumstances and chances that pave the way for success, suggesting a more communal and contextual view of greatness rather than a purely personal one.
In practice
