If you live in Chennai and aren’t familiar with the frenzy surrounding Rajinikanth’s films, July 22 might come as a shock to you. The undisputed superstar of southern cinema is ready to enthrall his fans with his new film, Kabali, on Friday.
There’s no stopping Rajinikanth even at 65. Though his last two films – Lingaa and Kochadaiyaan – didn’t hit the bull’s eye at the box office, he is ready to reinvent himself. Probably the only superstar in the world who isn’t afraid of showing his balding head, Rajinikanth is a people’s man. From setting up retirement funds for his director friends to obliging politicians, he has done it all. And now his fans are ready to pay the star back for his courtesies.
