The shooting of Rajinikanth`s upcoming film Kabali is progressing at incredible speed in Malaysia. The actor will be seen as an ageing don, who comes out to track his kidnapped daughter in this action entertainer directed by Pa Ranjith. He is seen sporting a white bearded look for the role. Director Ranjith has stated that the actor`s role will be similar to his previous film Mullum Malarum. The first look stills of the film received a thumping response from the fans of the Superstar.

Radhika Apte is playing the leading lady, while Dhansika is playing Rajini`s daughter in the film. Reports have arrived that the makers have zeroed in Mahadev as the film`s Telugu title. However, an official announced is awaited. The film`s overseas rights have fetched Rs 28 crores for the Tamil version alone. This is by far a record in the history of Kollywood. Sanotsh Narayanan is scoring the music for the film which is expected to hit the screens in Telugu and Tamil simultaneously in April, 2016.
