Superstar
Rajinikanth-starrer
Tamil
action
drama
Kabali
will
release
in
a
record
306
screens
in
Kerala.
According
to
a
trade
analyst,
this
is
the
biggest
release
for
a
Tamil
film
in
the
state,
fondly
known
as
God's
Own
Country.
"It's
the
biggest
release
for
a
Tamil
film.
'Kabali'
is
releasing
in
306
screens
in
Kerala," trade
analyst
Trinath
told
IANS.
Malayalam
superstar
Mohanlal
is
releasing
the
film
in
Kerala.
"On
par
with
Tamil
Nadu,
there's
unprecedented
demand
for
tickets
in
Kerala.
The
opening
weekend
tickets
are
sold
out,"
he
said.
Interestingly,
few
years
ago,
Mohanlal
had
said
films
from
other
states
shouldn't
be
allowed
to
have
such
a
wide
release
in
Kerala,
as
it
will
affect
the
box
office
collections
of
Malayalam
movies.
He
had
even
opposed
the
idea
of
releasing
Vijay's
Vettaikkaran
in
75
theatres.
But
since
Kabali
is
being
released
by
him,
the
Jilla
actor
seems
to
have
forgotten
his
comments,
made
in
the
past.
Directed
by
Pa
Ranjith,
the
film
also
stars
Radhika
Apte,
Kishore,
Dinesh,
Kalaiyarasan,
Dhansikaa,
Ritwika
and
Winston
Chao.
Rajinikanth
plays
a
don
who
fights
for
Tamilians
in
Malaysia
in
the
film,
which
is
releasing
worldwide
on
Friday
(July
22).
