The craze for Salman Khan has reached insane levels in the Hindi Film Industry, but even that pales in comparison to the kind of insanity and sheer craze that only a Rajnikanth film can generate.
Check out these examples:
AirAsia, a budget airline, has arranged special ‘Kabali’ flights from Bangalore to Chennai. It will carry about 180 fans of the superstar to watch the film on the day of its release. The menu on-board includes some of Rajnikanth’s favourite food items.
A woman, who claims to be the biggest Rajni fan in the world, has designed sarees with Rajnikanth’s face on it. She’ll be wearing the saree while watching the film on Friday morning.
Luxury Hotels in Bangalore and Chennai have organised special screenings of the film at their property. Tickets are said to be priced between 1000 – 2000 rupees.
Another crazy fan of the superstar has booked the first 10 shows of the film – starting with the first show on Friday all the way to the last show on Saturday – he’ll be watching all of them!
Since the film is about the working class, a Rajnikanth fan club will be distributing welding glasses, helmets and gloves to people who are in need.
While Bollywood stars are known to fight it out for holiday weekends, a Rajnikanth film release automatically becomes a holiday for a lot of people in South India. Quite a few offices across cities in Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh will remain shut on Friday to celebrate the release of Kabali.
Quite obviously, the advance booking is beyond extraordinary. Trade sources say, more than 80-85% tickets for the entire weekend has been sold in advance in Tamilnadu.
Take a bow for this Gigastardom.
He is a great awesome person and is one of the most charismatic actors worldwide but i do feel his fans overhype him. I hope kabali is a huge hit but he is a regional star not a global boxoffice dominator like most of his fans believe he is.
Southern markets will be record breaking….!!!
No doubt…!!
What about Bollywood @indicine ????
How’s the advance booking for Hindi version..???
He is GOD…!!!
Excited for Robot 2
for Rajni & my Fav Akshay
Rajni is back!!!
Gotcha bollywood! Is he 68 years old? But how long technology going to aid him? With his bald head and over d top actions
Rajnikant is the most Stylish Superstar !
U know wat…he’s marathi …! Very few people know …
Proud to be a Tamilian because of Rajini sir.
Thanks for making my childhood so awesome
I will watch Kabali
South indian waise bhi thore special hote hain..
Comon on Indicine how can u compare Bhaijaan’s country wide crazy to just a state dominated craze… Just bcoz the terms u mentioned above???
Its just like showing one circuit (that too small one) is bigger than rest of all 12 circuits…
Coming to kabali craze it’s just media hyped and South trade is known for their exaggeration things which are actually aren’t… Rajni is literally struggling to maintain his stardom which is on blink of fall down after 2 huge disasters…
Anyway everything will be clear on this Friday… Who is real boss???
Bt still he’s a regional star…sry to say Bt that’s true…hes a megastar Bt in south they overhyped him..
Lo ab karo baat… This is Real Stardom
All set to break Opening day records in Kerala nd Tamilnadu…
The craze for Kaabali is unbelievably huge very huuuuuugeeee in South India…..
Kaabali daaa…

Cant imagine what will happen when Robot 2 release time.!!!! Bcz Rajini sir Akki Shankar in a 350cr film that too going to release in festive period…. Only sky will be the limit….. ( eying Sep last week nd Diwali wknd)
Whata power of rajni
Cant comapre Salman Khan with Rajnikanth
Salman Khan is in his oen league.
He dominates 12 circuits whereas Rajni dominates only 1 circuit.
Salman Khan is the biggest Megastar !
This is called a MEGASTARDOM.. hats of to u Mr.Rajinikant…
Salman,Amir, Srk kuch bhi nahi Rajini ke samne…. Amir Salman ka stardom hila ke rakhega dis christmas wait and watch
It can cross 50 crore on day1 in all languages.
Indicine u missed one point..first time Shows of A movie will start from 4 AM in the morning…! I read it
salman ‘s fans can be found in every nook and corner and so he is the most searched in google .Both are megastars on their own rights.
don’t propagate false news and created unnecessary hype. am from andhra pradesh curious to know which offices are closed on Friday. producers of kabali created this propaganda to sell their movie for exorbitant prices to distributors like lingaa producers did. lingaa was disaster so did Kochadaiiyaan .some of them were commit suicide because of those films.
Don’t compare salman with rajnikanth. It’s an insult to rajnikanth. Rajnikant is not just a megastar but also all-rounder and good actor and a good person. While salman doesn’t know ABC of acting yet and he has many court cases pending and still not proven innocent offifially. So don’t compare someone like salman with great rajnikant.
Megastar but so humble dats Rajnikants greatness.
Mamu Sultan you still Child. Don’t be Arrogant thinking you are in top position. Others lot better than you.
Other’s are way better than you, When You do other than Masala film Your Aukaat come out in front of you.
ACTOR TO WOH HOTA JO HAR CHEEZ PE ACT KARE. Tere jaise nahi sirf body banake pagal banara public ko.
And your file 25% Love + 25% Fight + 25% Khandaan + 25% comedy = SALMAN KHAN FILM.
