Rajinikanth is probably the only star actor whose films are as anticipated by his contemporaries as his fans. Big starry names from neighboring film industries publicly showing support for Rajini's releases have become an oft-seen affair now.
In short, the Darbar fever has plagued everyone from fans to corporate companies to stars and the return of 'cop' Rajinikanth in one of the highly awaited moments in Tamil cinema's current timeline.
