Ajay/Vinod, there can be oorukku naalu superstar if its simply referring someone as per the above definition, no argument there !!

But sadly in the context of tamil/hindi films, Rajini pretty much owns the 'superstar' title and gave it a different spin - something along the lines of the most popular/stylish hero .... the issue now is claiming or usurping the 'title' currently held by Rajini. What is then the necessity for the ‘next superstar' poll between Ajith and Vijay !! Engae dhan konjam iddikudhu It could have simply been a poll for the most favorite star or for the most popular celebrity or even the ‘azhagiya tamil magan’ title

Imagine what MGR would have done if there were a poll for the next ‘Makkal Thilagam’ .. I doubt anyone would take that chance even today!

The prominent titles are mostly retired .. and maybe there could be something like iLLaya superstar or iLLaya-iLLaya thalapathi later on ....
