Thalaiva Meaning

Thalaiva is nothing but the same as Thalaivar, which in Tamil means a leader, boss, and is spoken for Rajinikanth with respect, like 'sir'.

The word comes from 'Thala' which means head, and means the one who heads people, hence leader.

The word is shown in Chennai Express' Lungi Dance song which is supposedly a dedication to Rajnikanth Ji.

@Sam

I never thought someone would ask me who is Rajnikant. :)

Anyway, he's a hero of Tamil language films, who is known across India and quite outside too, though the language is understood mostly in just one state of India. That's partly because of his style which defies all laws of physics and biology, but impresses you nonetheless, and partly because of his extremely humble nature despite his superstar status.
