It is said that the governor of Malacca Province is a huge fan of Thailaivar and might honour him with Datuk very soon.

Many other celebrities from the world of cinema have been honoured with Datuk. In 2012, veteran Tamil actor Radharavi has received the award. Hollywood superstar Jackie Chan and Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan have also received the award. Now, an official announcement is awaited to confirm if Rajinikanth will be conferred with Datuk or not.
