The
movie,
which
is
directed
by
Madras
fame
Pa
Ranjith,
will
have
Rajinikanth
in
the
title
role
Kabali
aka
Kabaleeswaran,
a
don.
Bollywood
actress
Radhika
Apte
essays
the
female
lead
opposite
Rajini
in
the
movie.
Eventhough
they
share
a
great
bond
in
the
real
life,
Mohanlal
has
not
received
a
chance
to
work
with
Rajinikanth
in
his
career.
Earlier,
the
actor
was
appraoched
to
play
the
antagonist
in
several
Rajini
films,
including
Shivaji.
But
Mohanlal
denied
the
offers,
as
they
were
cliched
negative
characters
which
had
no
scope
to
perform.
However,
the
Malayalam
and
Tamil
movie
audiences
are
eagerly
waiting
to
watch
the
iconic
actors
together
on-screen.
