For those of you wondering what Rajinikanth's next is all about, here is an interesting piece of information. The gangster drama is inspired by two Mani Ratnam movies. This was out from the horse's mouth, no less. The films are Dalapathy (Thalapthy) and Nayakudu (Nayagan), both cult hits and monstrously popular in both Tamil Nadu and the Telugu States. While one of them saw Rajini himself in a memorable role, the other one saw Universal Star Kamal Haasan in an iconic role.

Kalaipuli S Thanu in an interview to a leading Tamil news channel has let out that director Ranjith has fashioned the story as an interesting mix of Superstar Rajinikanth`s Thalapathy and Kamal Haasan`s Nayagan.

Kabali` starring Rajinikanth, Radhika Apte, Dhanshika, Riythvika, Kalaiarasan and Dinesh is gearing up for release on July 15. Folks, can you wait any longer to watch this celluloid monster?
