Superstar Rajinikanth’s next film is fast completing its pre-production and getting ready for the shooting on September. In the film, Rajini plays the role of an underworld don based on a real life don in Mylapore in Chennai. Recently, the film’s official title has been revealed as Kabali. Kabali is another name for Lord Shiva, and it is derived from Kapaleeswara.
Here’s an interesting titbit. The titles of Rajini’s last two films, Kochadaiiyaan and Lingaa, are also the other names for Lord Shiva. In Kabali, the Superstar will be playing the titular role with a Lord Shiva name for the third time in a row. However, what’s troubling the fans is the box-office performance of both the films.
With both Kochadaiiyaan and Lingaa biting the dust badly, Rajini fans are hoping that the fortunes will be turned this time around. Let’s hope that Lord Shiva will bless Rajini and his fans with a blockbuster in this third attempt. In the past too, Rajini’s films like Arunachalam, Annamalai, Shiva and Netrikan had their titles, also the other names for Lord Shiva. Only Rajini can explain his fascination with these Lord Shiva titles.
