When a Rajini film comes, everything else takes a backseat. Cutting across religious, economic, political and other lines, fans of the Superstar across the world are gearing up for the release of ‘Kabali’, which is slated to hit the screens on July 22.
Paal abishekams will be performed to giant size Rajini banners kept outside theatres as early as 3 am tomorrow. “It is more than a festival for us. We are ready to celebrate the release of thalaivar film,” said Rajini Babu, a fan in South Chennai.
Meanwhile, corporate companies in Chennai and other parts tartups are joining the ‘Kabali’ frenzy and are either booking entire cinema halls for their employees or giving a day off on the release date.
As a company’s official notice goes, the holiday is declared to “avoid sick leaves, mobile switch-offs and mass bunks”. Manoj Pushparaj, head of operations for Opus, said this was done to motivate employees.
