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
In a motivational speech to young artists, you might say, 'Remember Rajinikanth's words about superstardom; it's about seizing the opportunities you have.'
God gave me an actor's role; I have done that well. God gave me now a political role, and I am 100 per cent sure I will perform that well.

I do know there are a lot of people who seem to be in my corner, and that's, of course, wonderful. I'm really more interested in the nomination than in the award, because I think the nomination just puts you within a group of outstanding actors.
My ambition was to become the best climber and I never did. I think that goal was a wrong goal. A better one is to put more emphasis on enjoyment and on getting a rounded experience and on things like friendship, rather than on sheer achievement.
I've never once met a successful blogger who questioned the personal value of what she did.
I never buy anything unless I can fill out on a piece of paper my reasons. I may be wrong, but I would know the answer to that ...I'm paying $32 billion today for the Coca Cola Company because... If you can't answer that question, you shouldn't buy it. If you can answer that question, and you do it a few times, you'll make a lot of money.
After hard work, the biggest determinant is being in the right place at the right time.
