From a milkman to superstar!
A barber in Johnny (1980)
Directed by veteran Mahendran, Johnny proved to be an excellent combination of brains and brawn for Rajnikanth.
Revered as a cult classic, especially the romantic parts, the movie saw Rajnikanth as a petty thief and a barber who is disinclined to bring the world into his home.
