It has become a habit for Shah Rukh Khan to praise Superstar Rajinikanth. After showering rich praises on the southern icon when he was recently in Chennai, the Bollywood Badshah was at it again during a television show to promote his forthcoming film, Ra One.

On Saturday night SRK did an exclusive one hour show on CNN-IBN, where he talked about his favourite super hero movies. "The best super hero character who has influenced me is Chitti of Robot (Enthiran), what a movie," he said.

Remember Rajini has done a cameo in Ra.One. Shah Rukh's admiration for the Superstar and his role in Robot didn't stop with that. He added: "Hats off to Rajini sir and Shankar for making such a big, spectacular super hero movie."

SRK said that the 'child in me wanted to always make a super hero film. In my growing up years I was influenced by super hero characters like Superman, Batman and films like Shahenshah and a few others.'
