Superstar Rajinikanth is back with a new movie, Kabali, much to the delight of his fans the world over. Kabali releases on Friday, July 22, and is all set to give Salman Khan’s blockbuster Sultan some trouble at the box office, especially in the Hindi belt and Maharashtra. The mania surrounding Bollywood superstars Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan is nothing as compared to the one that Rajinikanth causes. He is truly the Baap of it all! And even the legendary Amitabh Bachchan considers Rajini Sir a huge star and is his best friend. (READ: Kabali Movie Review)
Like before every release of his, the Rajini mania has gripped India and even some countries where he has fans, like the UK, US, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan. Many of Rajinikanth’s fans have booked tickets for the first day, first show of Kabali! Some shows of the film begin as early as 3 am to 5 am at some theatres.

We already know of temples and pujas for Rajini. Check out Rajinkanth’s fans who have done some other crazy things to support him before his big release Kabali, including dancing, wearing Rajini masks, doing a flash mob in Sydney and riding the Kabali bus in Mumbai!
One fan has even created a KABALI number plate for his car - KA 8 AL 1. Take a look you must!
While the other has got his car covered with Kabali photos, much like the airplane!
