South Superstar Rajinikanth has a major fan following in Malaysia, and his recent visit to the country to shoot for upcoming film 'Kabali', created a major ho-ha among the public and the media, who were eugolising the star's arrival. It is reported that the Governor of Malacca, Mohammad Khalil Yaakob, who is a big fan, called on Rajini the minute he landed in Kuala Lumpur. Sources said that the governor made a request to honour Rajinikanth with the prestigious 'Datuk' title, which was even approved by the government. It is now reported that a huge event is being planned where Rajini will be conferred with the royal Malaysian title. Shah Rukh Khan was the first Indian star to be conferred with the title, and more recently, international star Jackie Chan was bestowed with the award.
