Kabali
Released
in
2016,
Kabali
was
shot
on
a
budget
of
Rs
100
Crore
and
proved
to
be
a
commercial
success
despite
not
being
a
typical
Rajini
film.
Released
amidst
fanfare,
it
reportedly
collected
close
to
Rs
211
Crore
at

Lingaa
Directed
by
KS
Ravikumar,
Lingaa
featured
Rajinikanth
in
a
double
role
and
proved
to
be
a
commercial
failure.
Shot
against
a
budget
of
over
Rs
100
Crore,
it
barely
managed
to
break
even
at
the

As
a
result,
several
distributors
suffered
losses
and
this
left
Rajini
fans
in
a
state
of
shock.

directorial
debut.
Made
on
a
budget
of
Rs
125

managed
to
collect
merely
Rs
70
Crore.
