His screen persona is an epitome of film theories that movies, to be enjoyed, need a suspension of disbelief on the part of the audience. He can flip chewing gum high into the air and catch it in his mouth (Sivaji The Boss), whip up a storm of dust with a shake of his leg (Chandramukhi) and send the bad guys running for cover. Of course, Rajinikanth has an engaging screen presence.

What could possibly explain the mania surrounding the release of a movie starring a man who in real life is a balding 65-year-old? Sachin, who is sporting a new Kabali T-shirt.Īlso read: Ten things to know about ‘Kabali’ And last night I couldn’t sleep in excitement, then where is the question of waking up?" says 19-year-old engineering student S. His friend Manoj is still desperately trying to peep through the closed ticket counters. “But Kabali is at another level," says Srinivas. To be sure, such hype has surrounded every Rajinikanth movie in recent years, the last being Lingaa two years ago. Thalaivar, which means leader in Tamil, is what his fans fondly call Rajinikanth. “Since 1992, I have always watched first-day, first-show for Thalaivar," he says with his fist in the air. Sudharshan, a member of the audience at Vettri, has an answer to why. The ticket prices have been upped, yet almost all theatres screening the movie are running house-full. For the next two hours, 30 minutes, there is little chance of you following even a single dialogue from the movie, so noisy is the audience.
It also has the stylish stunts and punch lines that are the staple of every Rajinikanth starrer.Īt Vettri, the audience breaks into a frenzy as the screen credits start rolling and the signature blue letters S-U-P-E-R S-T-A-R R-A-J-I-N-I appear. In the film’s back story, he is shown to be fighting for the rights of an oppressed ethnic Tamil community, providing a subtle political undertone. Kabali tells the story of an ageing gangster’s comeback after 25 years of imprisonment in a Malaysian jail and his subsequent search for his family, and ultimately revenge against his enemies. It is reported to have opened on 3,000-4,000 screens across India, besides 400-500 screens overseas. Ranjith-directed Tamil movie-also dubbed in Hindi, Telugu and Malay-has been nothing short of spectacular. I like his sincerity and focus.The release of the Pa. Ranjith is a great director to work with, very passionate about his work and with an independent style of approaching a project. Director Ranjith and Jenny, his assistant, helped me a lot in understanding the dialogues with the deeper subtext involved. And of course, the Tamil language as well. I wasn't aware of many details and hence my preparation involved getting to know about the issue dealt with in the film and the culture that is a part of the movie. So how did the Radhika prepare for her role? Radhika says, "The subject of Kabali is very critical in this context. Being a new age director with films like Attakathi and Madras in the pipeline, Mr Ranjith is known for films with several layers. The film has a young Rajinikanth in the flashback portions and the posters showing Rajinikanth and Radhika together weave a compelling story of their own. I'm very grateful that they made me a part of this prestigious project," says Radhika.
I flew to Chennai and we finalised everything in a day. One day I received a call from him saying he wanted to cast me. So how did Radhika land this role? "Director Pa Ranjith had seen some of my work and thought my look suited the part. Playing the character of Kumudhavalli, Radhika is the love interest of Rajinikanth who plays an ageing don with a flashback story.
