From a milkman to superstar!
A hotel bell boy in Velaikkaran (1987)
S P Muthuraman's formulaic movie saw the actor as a gullible and naïve young man who becomes a bellboy in a hotel. The story takes Rajnikanth all over the place as he works to unravel a plot to kill his boss. In the process he discovers his roots as well.
Paired with the beautiful Amala, bellboy Rajnikanth was anything but a lowly menial and he managed to endear himself to the audience.
