Will Rajinikanth’s Kabali manage to 500 crore mark at the box office, and become even a bigger hit than Baahubali? According to Kalaipuli S Thanu, producer of the movie, Rajinikanth’s stature and fan following will help the film in shattering records at the box office.

Kabali, one of the most anticipated movies of Rajinikanth, is hitting the silver screens on July 22. The movie, also featuring Winston Chao and Rosyom Nor, is releasing in more than 5,000 screens worldwide, and also be dubbed in foreign languages, like Chinese, Thai and Japanese.

According to an estimate, Kabali has already racked up 200 crore even before releasing, through branding, theatrical distribution, digital sales and other rights. Thanu, meanwhile, is expecting it to cross the 500 crore mark on its release.

“I expect the movie to make more than Rs 500 crore when it releases,” Thanu said. “It will be bigger than Baahubali because that is the power and stature of Rajinikanth. He has fans all over the world, across all age groups. But I have still not sold the satellite rights, I’m waiting for the film to release.”

Thanu said that both Rajinikanth and his daughter Soundarya liked the movie when he showed it to them. He added that this movie will be the ‘crowning glory’ in already illustrious career of Rajinikanth. “After watching the film, he told me how happy he was,” Thanu said.
