The Central Government has announced to bestow the 51st Dadasaheb Phalke Award to superstar Rajinikanth. The actor will receive the prestigious award today for his spectacular contribution to the world of Indian cinema.

Additionally, the south superstar has rendered his voice for the app.

He tweeted on Sunday, “My daughter Soundarya, who by her independent efforts has pioneered the making of a very useful app for people called Hoote. I am very happy to launch this innovative, useful, and the first of its kind, the HOOTE app in my voice. People can now express through their voice their thoughts, wishes and ideas just like they do in writing in any language of their choice.”

Dadasaheb Phalke Award is the highest honor conferred in the world of Indian cinema. It is given along with the National Film Awards by the Directorate of Film Festivals, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India.

Actress Devika Rani has been awarded for the first time the reputable Dadasaheb Phalke award. Additionally, Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna, filmmaker K.K. Vishwanath and Manoj Kumar are also included in the list.
