 Even before <keyword id="283584" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kabali">Kabali</keyword>’s release, movie theatres in down south are packed to their capacity and you never know if they start selling popcorn in his name as well. 
 
Such is the craze for Kabali that if you plan to visit Chennai or any part in Tamil Nadu on July 22 and onwards, you will probably find everything shut, even corporates for that matter, and if you want to find them, you will know where to find them.

Ticket prices in the multiplexes have doubled to Rs 500, big brands are riding high on Rajinikanth’s fan following and bringing in creative stuff to advertise and campaign for their brands. 
 
Every Rajni fan (which means entire south) is humming the ‘Neruppu Daa’ song, which means fire and those who did not get a ticket are trying their luck to win a free one through promotional SMSes, radio quizzes, etc. This means, everyone is making a killing in the process. 
 
This maddening frenzy for Rajinikanth is not new. People have been praying for him, even him, in several households. He is superstar for several reasons. For one, he is a people’s man. But, one point in his life, he had decided to quit his acting career but changed his decision (thank god for that).

But, in case you are looking for some more juice, here are fun facts about him and what makes Rajinikanth, the Rajinikanth

Here’s why Rajinikanth is, The Rajinikanth

<keyword id="12864" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chennai">Chennai</keyword>, Actor <keyword id="14509" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rajinikanth">Rajinikanth</keyword> on Monday told the District Secretaries of '<keyword id="6124611" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rajini-Makkal-Mandram">Rajini Makkal Mandram</keyword>' that he would announce the decision on his <keyword id="10355431" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="active-political-plunge">active political plunge</keyword> soon through the media. Speaking to reporters here, a couple of District Secretaries said the actor had told them that he would decide on floating a political party and plunge into politics. Rajinikanth would announce his decision on jumping into active Tamil Nadu politics soon, said two District Secretaries, who met the actor on Monday. According to the Mandram officials, they also expressed concern at Rajinikanth's health condition, and contesting the 2021 Tamil Nadu Assembly polls will be the ideal time. The meeting lasted for about two hours. After the meeting he waved at the crowd assembled outside his <keyword id="1247166" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Raghavendra-Kalyana-Mandapam">Raghavendra Kalyana Mandapam</keyword> sans mask. It is also said Rajinikanth had told the District Secretaries that it is not possible for anyone to make money in politics with him. Last month Rajinikanth tweeted that he would consult with the officials of Rajini Makkal Mandram about his health condition and announce his political stance to the people. At that time denying a statement purported to be issued by him announcing his decision to quit politics, Rajinikanth said some of the contents in that statement relating to his health and the medical advice given by the doctors were true. "After discussing the matter with the officials of the Rajini Makkal Mandram, at an appropriate time I will announce my political stance to the people," Rajinikanth had said. As per the alleged statement, Rajinikanth's doctors had voiced their reservations on his political entry since he had undergone a kidney transplant sometime back.t They had also told him that there was no vaccine for Covid-19 and even if there was one, whether it would be effective at his age of 70. The election for Tamil Nadu Assembly is slated in 2021. As per the purported statement, if Rajinikanth had to start a political party then the plans would have to be finalised by December and an announcement to be made by January 15 next year. The condition of his health getting bad was also mentioned as he had to address rallies and meet people once he plunged into active politics during the Covid-19 period. Asserting that he was not getting into politics for the sake of power, actor turned politician Rajinikanth in March this year ruled himself out of the race for the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's post and said there was an urgent need for a change in the system. He said that his political party and the government, in case it came to power, would have different leaders. He said that 60-65 per cent of his party's candidate for the Tamil Nadu Assembly polls will be in the age group of 45-50. The remaining seats will go to good people in other parties, professionals, judges, and former IAS officers. Recalling his speech on December 31, 2017, Rajini said that he was not into politics for power. At the age of 45 (in 1996) he was not interested in political power, and now at the age of 68 (in 2017) one cannot say he is power crazy, he recalled saying two years ago. On December 31, 2017, Rajinikanth had announced his decision to float a political party to practice 'spiritual politics' and contest all 234 Assembly seats in Tamil Nadu in 2021. The actor said at that time that his entry into politics was a "compulsion of time" since the country's politics had gone wrong. Rajinikanth had remarked that while earlier kings would invade other countries and loot them, nowadays political parties were looting their own people under the guise of democracy. The system needed a change, he added. After 2017, Rajinikanth has voiced his views on some issues. In the wake of anti-Sterlite Copper smelter plant protest in Tuticorin and killing of 13 persons in police firing, he said that Tamil Nadu would turn into a graveyard if protests were held for everything. Later, he said that he was not a mouthpiece of the BJP and attempts were being made to paint him in saffron.

Rajinikanth to announce decision on active political plunge soon

<ul><li>The ‘super star’ from Tamil Nadu is slowly transitioning into a politician ahead of the assembly election next year. </li><li>As one of Asia’s highest-paid actors, Rajinikanth’s popularity is beyond question but there is lack of clarity in what he stands for. </li><li>As a politician focussed on Tamil Nadu, he is trying to keep himself away from the BJP but is barely managing to. </li></ul>Rajinikanth, the ‘Super Star’ from Tamil Nadu, is slowly transitioning into a politician with an eye on the upcoming state assembly polls in 2021. So far, the only thing clearly known about Rajinikanth’s political stance is that it will be rooted in ‘spirituality’. For everything, the actor, known for his style and stunts, has done a volte face. Yet, he seems to have too much in common with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Prime Minister Narendra Modi who have very little traction among the people in Tamil Nadu. Modi featured on the Discovery show Man vs Wild hosted by Bear Grylls just days before the national elections in 2019 and Rajinikanth is set to do the same this year. But that is not the only thing they have in common. In the last few years, there have been multiple occasions ⁠— from his support for demonetisation to his stand on the Sterlite shootings to his recent attack on a iconic social reformer, Periyar ⁠— Rajinikanth has found himself on the same side of the debate as the BJP. Something that his rivals never fail to highlight. <div type="image" title="Chennai: Union Home Minister Amit Shah with actor Rajinikanth during the release..." msid="73721594" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Union Home Minister Amit Shah with actor Rajinikanth during the release of the book &amp;quot;Listening, Learning and Leading&amp;quot;, a chronicle of the Vice President of India&amp;#39;s two years in office, at a function in Chennai.Photo) (&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 “Hats off to Modiji” When the ill-advised demonetisation was announced on November 8, 2016, Rajinikanth was elated. <div type="twitter" handle="rajinikanth" handlename="Rajinikanth" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/980000107415314432/pJ3ANCkn_normal.jpg" favoritecount="72691" retweetcount="37187" status="Hats off @narendramodi ji. New india is born #JaiHind" createdat="1478625887000" id="796040786965991424"></div>

 A couple of years later, he had to eat his earlier words. In November 2018, <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/india-news/govt-should-have-announced-demonetisation-after-detailed-research-says-rajinikanth/1379833/">he reportedly said</a> the government should have done a ‘detailed research’ and the implementation of the note ban was ‘wrong’. The Sterlite faux pas <div type="image" title="rajinikant at sterlite protest" msid="73721635" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Rajinikanth blamed &amp;#39;anti-social elements&amp;#39; for the protests against Sterlite copper smelter in Tuticorin after 14 people died in police firing. The super star had to eat his words later.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 In May 2018, Rajinikanth landed in Tuticorin where protests against the Sterlite copper smelter were peaking, and 14 people had been killed by police bullets. But <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ip3CMKK1_r8">the actor’s comments blaming</a> ‘anti-social elements’ were seen as justifying the action of the state, which is ruled by the BJP-friendly All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK). Few months later, he had to call it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtB19xd6V48">the ‘government’s failure’</a>. Saffron or not? As a politician focussed on Tamil Nadu, Rajinikanth is trying to keep himself away from the BJP but is barely managing to. Thiruvalluvar is an ancient Tamil poet and philosopher whose faith is not clear. The Dravidian parties have portrayed him as a Jain saint. The recent attempt by the BJP to appropriate the historic icon as a Hindu resulted in another controversy. Rajini, as his fans often refer to him, claimed that <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/chennai/thiruvalluvar-and-i-wont-get-caught-in-bjps-saffronisation-bid-rajinikanth-says/articleshow/71968243.cms">‘neither Thiruvalluvar nor him can be trapped in saffron’</a>. 
	<div type="image" title="thiruvalluvar saffron" msid="73721951" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Thiruvalluvar is an ancient Tamil poet and philosopher, commonly believed to be a Jain saint from Tamil Nadu, popular for his couplets called &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Thirukkural &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;which are seen as guiding principles for life by the Tamil people. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 However, just this month, in his speech at the 50th anniversary of an iconic Tamil magazine, Tughlak ⁠— known for its satire and hard-hitting take on controversial issues, and its bellwether editor the Late Cho Ramaswamy⁠— the ‘super star’ ended up making <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/rajini-stirs-a-storm-with-periyar-remark/articleshow/73503264.cms">a controversial comment</a> that has landed him court. <div type="image" title="rajinikanth at tughlak event" msid="73721384" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In his speech at the 50th anniversary of an iconic Tamil magazine, Tughlak, Rajinikanth ended up making &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/rajini-stirs-a-storm-with-periyar-remark/articleshow/73503264.cms&amp;quot;&amp;gt;a controversial comment&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; against Periyar that has landed him court. He was sharing the stage with Vice President and BJP leader, Venkaiah Naidu, as well as RSS ideologue S Gurumurthy .&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 His statements are being portrayed as an attack on Periyar, much like the barbs from H Raja, one of BJP’s top faces in Tamil Nadu. So far, the demigod has <a href="https://theprint.in/opinion/newsmaker-of-the-week/rajinikanth-not-apologising-for-periyar-remark-will-show-where-tamil-nadu-politics-is-headed/354350/">refused to apologise</a>. Rival Dravida Munnetra Kahagam (DMK), led by MK Stalin, which was at the receiving end of Rajinikanth’s barb, has still not mounted a strong protest ⁠— possibly to avoid giving the actor the mileage that he is gunning for. The state election in Tamil Nadu in 2021 For six decades, the politics in Tamil Nadu has been dominated by the Dravidian ideology, which barfs at majoritarianism unlike the Hindutva espoused by the BJP. However, there is some fatigue, growing discontent with the corruption, is a vacuum in leadership with the passing away of iconic leaders like J Jayalalithaa and M Karunanidhi. There is a growing clamour for change. Aside from the need for change, what works for Rajinikanth is the unprecedented popularity, and the fact that there aren’t any rival leaders of his stature. But it is still not conclusive if the people will accept BJP or its allies. <div type="image" title="rajinikant politics" msid="73721646" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Actor Rajinikanth, who has announced his intent to contest the assembly polls, greets his fans after unveiling a statue of former chief minister MG Ramachandran at the Dr MGR Educational and Research Institute in Chennai on Monday.05-03-2018&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 The current economic slowdown too, has affected voter sentiment against the Modi government. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="72294625" title="India’s GDP growth is as bad as the worst estimates ⁠— as the economy slows down for the fifth quarter in a row" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>
 Rajinikanth’s experience with Bear Grylls may give him some perspective on the ‘law of the jungle’, which may be useful in political manoeuvres. But only a clearly expressed political stance, whether it is in sync with BJP or not, will help garner votes.

Rajinikanth’s shared interests with Narendra Modi goes beyond Bear Grylls’ Man vs Wild

Chennai, Time has come to change the fate of <keyword id="20154" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="tamil-nadu">Tamil Nadu</keyword>, while political and government change in the state is important and compulsion of time, said <keyword id="559334" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="actor-Rajinikanth">actor Rajinikanth</keyword> on Thursday. The actor sounded his poll bugle against the ruling AIADMK government as well as against the major opposition party DMK. Rajinikanth said he would float his political party in January 2021 and an announcement in that regard will be made on December 31, 2020. Speaking to reporters here, Rajinikanth said: "The time has come to change the fate of Tamil Nadu. Political and government change in the state is important. It will surely change. The political change is important and is compulsion of time. If not now, it is not possible ever. Everything has to be changed. We will change everything." He appealed all to support him to bring in the change. "I am just a small instrument in the change. If I win then it is people's victory," he added. He said that in 2017 he had announced his decision to enter politics and contest in all the 234 Assembly seats. According to him, though doctors had advised against holding rallies, if his life goes for the benefit of people then he is not worried about it. Rajinikanth also said 40 per cent shooting is pending for his movie Annaatthe which he will complete.

 Fans are paying tributes with <keyword id="283584" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kabali">Kabali</keyword> style car plates, theatres have sold out tickets and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/Kabali-fever-These-companies-just-gave-their-employees-a-day-off-to-watch-Rajnikanths-new-movie/articleshow/53300870.cms">companies are offering a holiday so that their employees can watch Kabali in peace.</a> That is the power of <keyword id="16227" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Rajnikanth">Rajnikanth</keyword>. 
 
And, to ensure that the excitement remains at an all-time high, the makers have now released a behind-the-scenes video about the making of the movie, which gives one a sneak-peek of what actually went down during the shooting of Kabali. 
 
In the film, Rajnikanth essays the role of a Malaysian don named Kabali, or rather Kabaleeshwaran. He plays both the younger and older versions of the character with aplomb. 
 The footage in the video is set to <keyword id="3504017" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Neruppa-da">Neruppa Da</keyword>, the title song of the film, which has already become an anthem for Rajnikanth fans. In the video, Rajnikanth exudes charm and simplicity and can be seen in his salt and pepper look, interacting with director <keyword id="1163705" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Pa-Ranjith">Pa Ranjith</keyword> and producer Kalaipuli S Thanu on the sets. 
 
It’s very easy to understand why this man has such a cult following after watching this behind-the-scenes video as it shows how the superstar enacts every scene and how he delivers his lines with ease. There is a certain style in everything he does in front of the camera. The transformation from Rajnikanth to Kabali is worth a watch.

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/35391764.cms" /> Now that the <keyword id="6355187" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Lok-Sabha">Lok Sabha</keyword> polls are over, <keyword id="4578" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="entertainment">entertainment</keyword> may once again bag the limelight and <keyword id="143" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood">Bollywood</keyword> has already churned out a couple of interesting thriller-gangster movies last week.

While Godzilla collected Rs 18 crore nett in <keyword id="3658" type="COUNTRY" weightage="100" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> in just three days and another Rs 5 crore on the first Monday as per industry estimates, all five Bollywood movies released last Friday (May 16) had a slow start at the <keyword id="827271" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Domestic-Box-Office">domestic box office</keyword> and understandably so. For one, the election euphoria is still running high but most importantly, three of the new releases – <keyword id="2218164" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="The-Xpos">The Xposé</keyword>, <keyword id="2248203" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="D-Gangs-of-Mumbai">D Gangs of Mumbai</keyword> and <keyword id="2248206" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="M3-Midsummer-Midnight-Mumbai">M3: Midsummer Midnight Mumbai</keyword> – come with an overdose of vintage masala. Other two of the lot are <keyword id="2248207" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Children-of-War-Nine-Months-to-Freedom">Children of War: Nine Months to Freedom</keyword>, set against the backdrop of <keyword id="73936" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bangladesh-liberation-war">Bangladesh Liberation War</keyword> of 1971, and an animation film for the kids, <keyword id="2248208" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Mighty-Raju-Rio-Calling">Mighty Raju – Rio Calling</keyword>, directed by <keyword id="1093861" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Rajiv-Chilaka">Rajiv Chilaka</keyword> (of Chhota Bheem fame) and <keyword id="2248210" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Anirban-Majumdar">Anirban Majumdar</keyword>. 
 
We were particularly intrigued by The Xposé, a <keyword id="2144245" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Musical-thriller">musical thriller</keyword> directed by <keyword id="304212" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ananth-Narayan-Mahadevan">Ananth Narayan Mahadevan</keyword> and starring <keyword id="8539" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Himesh-Reshammiya">Himesh Reshammiya</keyword> and <keyword id="1089543" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Yo-Yo-Honey-Singh">Yo Yo Honey Singh</keyword>, along with debutantes <keyword id="90343" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Sonali-Raut">Sonali Raut</keyword> and <keyword id="1273210" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Zoya-Afroz">Zoya Afroz</keyword> (<keyword id="2993" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Miss-India">Miss India</keyword> 2013 second runner-up). This one takes a pseudo-realistic peek at the glitzy <keyword id="2248216" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bollywood-of-the-1960s">Bollywood of the 1960s</keyword> – the dazzling era of Hindi movies, glamorous stars and their not-so-well-kept dirty secrets. The fast-paced period drama revolves around the ugly fights between two rival actresses, the shocking murder of one and the subsequent probe carried out by the <keyword id="2248197" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="ex-cop-turned-actor">ex-cop-turned-actor</keyword> Reshammiya (<keyword id="6354422" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ravi-Kumar">Ravi Kumar</keyword>).

 Although the movie hit about 1,000-plus screens worldwide, business had been slow and debut day collections at the domestic <keyword id="25892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="box-office">box office</keyword> amounted to Rs 2.97 crore nett, as per industry estimates. But the masala entertainer witnessed a decent traction during the first weekend and picked up around Rs 10.97 crore after the first three days. “The Xpose Fri 2.97 cr, Sat 3.43 cr, Sun 4.57 cr. Total: Rs 10.97 cr nett. India biz,” trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted. 
 
Although trade figure puts it to Rs 8.22 crore nett over the first three days, Xposé is a middle-budget movie, costing around Rs 15 crore (production and promotion combined), and according to a statement by producers, they claim to have recovered close to Rs 12.5 crore from the sale of satellite, music, home and overseas video, and other rights, and are profitable post the weekend. This means most of the revenues earned from the theatrical releases will be add to the film’s profit. Collections on the crucial Monday did not disappoint either and stood at around Rs 3.5 crore, as per industry estimates. 
 
Xposé may do even better at the box office, thanks to the thrill factor, although there are too many things happening at the same time and the coherence gets lost, especially in the second half. “It’s a fascinating subject. Right from verbal duels between rivals, to hiring black marketeers to sabotage others’ films, everything has been depicted,” <keyword id="303" type="POSITION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Director">director</keyword> <keyword id="68758" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="ananth-mahadevan">Ananth Mahadevan</keyword> told the Times of India (he himself plays a director in the movie). “The audience will have fun guessing which stars have inspired the sequences.”

In other words, D Gangs reminds you of The Great Gatsby, but the box office reception has been extremely poor – around Rs 65 lakh on the opening day and a little over Rs 2 crore after the first three day. And fourth day collection dipped further to a paltry Rs 40 lakh.

But in spite of funny cops, paranormal touch, ‘hot’ love scenes and unpredictable twists and turns, this flick didn’t sizzle at the domestic box office and managed a paltry Rs 70 lakh on the opening day. Total collections after the first three days amounted to Rs 2.25 crore, again putting a big question mark as to the fate of the movie. First Monday collections were no better and amounted to just Rs 56 lakh.

Overwhelms All But Xposé Off To A Decent Start

Bollywood superstar <keyword id="1671" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shah-Rukh-Khan" source="Orion">Shah Rukh Khan</keyword>, whose latest film "<keyword id="12756474" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="pathaan" source="Orion">Pathaan</keyword>" is creating new records since its release last week, greeted scores of admirers outside his Bandra home last night. Several screaming fans waited for the actor with several clicking pictures and recording videos from their smartphones. Dressed in all-black and a bandana, Shah Rukh on Sunday made an appearance on the balcony of his sea-facing bungalow 'Mannat', one of the landmarks of Mumbai. On early Monday morning, the 57-year-old actor shared a video of the crowded street with a bus and a few cars stuck amid the sea of fans on his official Twitter account. "Mehmaan Nawaazi Pathaan ke ghar par... Thank u all my Mehmaans for making my Sunday so full of love. Grateful. Happy. Loved," he captioned the post, referring to a popular dialogue from "Pathaan". Shah Rukh waved, blew kisses, greeted fans with a 'namaste' and a 'salaam'. He also spread his arms in his signature pose and performed the hook step of "Jhoome Jo Pathaan", the title song of his recent release, in front of the hundreds of people waiting to catch a glimpse of their favourite star. Later, the actor also requested fans to not climb on the bus. "Pathaan", which is Shah Rukh's first big screen release as a lead in over four years, continued its record-breaking run at the box office as it collected Rs 429 crore gross worldwide in four days, said production banner Yash Raj Films (YRF) on Sunday. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film follows the titular spy (Shah Rukh) who comes out of exile to thwart the diabolical plans of the terrorist group Outfit X, led by Jim (John Abraham), from launching an attack on India. Also starring Deepika Padukone, "Pathaan" released on January 25.

Right now, this Indian billionaire is one of the highest paid heads of a ‘unicorn’ in India. The man draws a ₹4 crore compensation annually, according to a filing with the <a href="https://inc42.com/buzz/is-paytm-ceo-vijay-shekhar-sharma-the-highest-paid-unicorn-founder/">Ministry of Corporate Affairs.</a> A unicorn — in startup parlance — is a private firm valued at $1 billion or more. At the centre of his success is the digital payments provider, Paytm. <img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/I_MdTvipub2_5cClTJ98sIXUZ-VkWpx6HJJW1Ax5yLku3ktT9P_DvUDUddHERo32MAFCB303l9EOjArLOwAkk4qqYMwbxvecuP6owLoTWrs6Hf0wh-bo8CQmLV2XiB6q0daWe-vm" /> What many don’t know about Sharma, who pegs himself to be a ‘common man’, is that he was a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/paytm-founder-vijay-shekhar-sharmas-incredible-life-story/articleshow/50497089.cms">child prodigy</a> clearing his higher secondary education at the mere age of 14. But tough challenges lay ahead as he left his hometown near Aligarh, in Uttar Pradesh. What follows is a story of betrayal, redemption and perseverance. His first business went under, and when the ‘Iron Man’ of India’s startup world wanted to launch Paytm, he had to put his own money on the line. After that, there was no looking back. From 2011 to 2017, within a span of six years, Sharma became the the youngest billionaire in the country with a net worth of $1.3 billion. As of April 2021, his net worth stands at a whopping $2.3 billion. <div type="ExtQuote" text="I think that men and boys are different because the boys flip and sell. Men run and build legacies.”" auname="Vijay Shekhar Sharma told Business Insider in a 2016 interview"></div> Sharma kept getting knocked down, but he never stayed down In college, Sharma faced a difficult transition with English not being his strong suit. “I taught myself English by memorising rock songs and simultaneously reading translated textbooks in English and Hindi,” he said in an interview with <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-06/paytm-s-founder-says-winning-in-india-prepared-him-for-the-world">Bloomberg</a>. Amid the rigours of being in an engineering college in Delhi, Sharma used his spare time to build. He told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/paytm-founder-vijay-shekhar-sharmas-incredible-life-story/articleshow/50497089.cms">Business Insider</a> that he initially wanted to go to Stanford University, because that is where internet giant Yahoo was conceived, but realised that his financial resources would not allow it. And, for a second time away from home, he took it upon himself to learn a new skill — coding. His friends and he took on the task of building a content management system (CMS), but the storm clouds were gathering. He quit his job at a multinational to focus on business and set One 97 Communications in 2001 with the money he had made from his job. What he didn’t realise is that his partners would <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/paytm-founder-vijay-shekhar-sharmas-incredible-life-story/articleshow/50497089.cms">leave him bankrupt </a>shortly after the first round of funding. He was eventually formed to sell 40% of his company for ₹8 lakh. But Sharma was resilient. One 97 Communications, now the parent company of Paytm, experimented in the space of content, advertising and commerce. It wasn’t until a decade later that Sharma got the idea to enter the digital payments ecosystem. Paytm comes to life To put his money where his mouth is, Sharma put up 1% of his equity as collateral — worth around $2 million in 2011. And, with that, the first avatar of Paytm was born. “Some other entrepreneur would have sold the equity and started their own company. But I aspire to build a 100 year old company,” the billionaire told <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/paytm-founder-vijay-shekhar-sharmas-incredible-life-story/articleshow/50497089.cms">Business Insider India</a> in a 2016 interview. Paytm entered the market at an opportune time. Mobile devices were getting less expensive, access to the internet was getting cheaper and everyone wanted to be online. Sharma kicked off Paytm as a prepaid mobile and direct-to-home (DTH) recharge platform. In 2013, the company added data card, post-paid mobile, and landline bill payments to its list of services. But the big change came a year later, in 2014, when the Paytm Wallet was launched. Ride-hailing app Uber and the Indian Railways even listed it as a payment option on their platforms. The company went steamrolling ahead at full speed, adding more use-cases to its roster. In 2017, Paytm became India’s first payment app to cross over 100 million app downloads. It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. Paytm’s popularity came at a cost. While more and more people were signing on, the company was also <a href="https://www.dnaindia.com/business/report-beware-cyber-phishing-without-otp-new-paytm-kyc-scam-know-full-paytm-kyc-process-to-avoid-fraud-2842907">making headlines</a> as users took advantage of its services to conduct scams and frauds. What lies ahead for Vijay Shekhar Sharma and Paytm? Sharma’s debut on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2017 happened just a few months after India's massive demonetisation exercise. It put a sudden halt on cash payments, which led to a boost for digital payments. And, as a result, Paytm gained ground. In April 2018, Paytm was in the spotlight again with China’s Alibaba Group and Japan’s SoftBank Group investing $453 million in Paytm Mall. In August, Paytm got another infusion of capital with Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway announcing a $300 million investment. Sharma’s net worth has continued to increase even as Paytm has suffered losses. <img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/sWJQh3av8aHe0CKd5ikkHoGaa-VeGGrkNPNMQaQzmSM5F26Q6cUfJwAGUDPXcJ1P49-aSlP1to2JxszWhwHQW-vmyN9oZXtZH-BodBBg8ZOtVjco8Nq7i1B9jPZYJY8Fd4hg5hsa" /> The Paytm founder always wanted to start a band that sings in <a href="https://yourstory.com/weekender/three-things-that-you-didnt-know-vijay-shekhar-sharma-the-man-behind-the-entrepreneur/amp">Sanskrit</a>, a language that he studied in school. However, with the company set to launch its IPO soon and Sharma at the helm of a big change — it’s unlikely that he’s going to find the time anytime soon.
