The much-awaited trailer of Superstar Rajnikanth starring “Kabali” was released on Sunday with the actor appearing as a salt and pepper styled gangster along with a host of other actors including Radhika Apte who plays opposite to “Thalaivar”.
As expected, YouTube is finding hard to keep track of the number of viewers watching the official trailer as Rajani-fans literally hijacked its bandwidth after the trailer was shared by almost all stars in the Kollywood.
The one minute and seven-second teaser gives a glimpse of the life of a don and also has a few scenes that reflect characters that Rajanikanth has played in some of his earlier superhit films.
Rajani can be also heard saying the word “Magizhchi” (Happiness), a word director Pa. Ranjith had been using for every big announcement related to the movie. Also, the trailer has a short but signature Rajnikanth punch dialogue which is one of the main highlights.
The trailer of Kabali was released on Sunday at 11 am and in 20 minutes the teaser got over 40,000 views and that was just the beginning of something bigger.
Within the next two hours, the trailer was watched by over 2 lakh people and 22 hours after the trailer was uploaded over five million people have watched it on YouTube, breaking all the existing records.
“Records are meant to be broken. One & Only #Thalaivar does it in Style. 5 Million Views within 22 hours #KabaliTeaser,” read a Facebook post that appeared on the official Kabali page.
Since the release of the trailer, #Kabali has been trending in almost all social media platforms with fans discussing what they believe could be the comeback of Rajinikanth after the not so successful movie Lingaa.
The tweet of producer announcing the launch of the teaser was tweeted many times and has reached over one million views.
Directors SS Rajamouli, Karthik Subbaraj, Balaji Mohan along with Rajinikanth’s son-in-law and Tamil hero Dhanush tweeted about the teaser in addition to actors Sivakarthikeyan and Dulquer Salmaan who also spoke shared their expectations about the film.
