Rajinikanth,
the
one
and
only
'Superstar'
of
Tamil
cinema,
will
soon
be
seen
in
the
eagerly
awaited
Darbar,
featuring
him
in
a
new
avatar.
The
film,
likely
to
hit
screens
this
Pongal,
has
already
become
the
talk
of
the
town
for
all
the
right
reasons,
and
this
indicates
that
things
are
heading
in
the
right
direction.
Just
like
Rajinikanth's
recent
movies,
Darbar
too
will
be
dubbed
and
released
in
Hindi.
While
the
much-hyped
Kaala
and
Petta
did
not
do
well
'up
North',
the
AR
Murugadoss-helmed
movie
might
exceed
expectations.
Speaking
EXCLUSIVELY
to
FilmiBeat,
trade
analyst
and
film
critic
Joginder
Tuteja
said
that
Darbar
has
a
big
advantage
due
to
its
relatable
title
and
added
that
that
the
AR
Murugadoss
factor
too
might
boost
its
prospects
big
time.
"Darbar
is
essentially
a
Hindi
title,
which
help
the
film
take
a
good
opening.
AR
Murugadoss
has
delivered
hits
in
Hindi
and
is
a
known
name.
So,
this
might
also
benefit
Darbar.
On
top
of
that
it
is
releasing
during
the
festive
season," said
Joginder.
However,
Joginder
feels,
a
lot
will
depend
on
whether
the
promos
of
Darbar
are
able
to
excite
the
Hindi
audience.
"Kabali
took
a
good
opening
while
Kaala
was
a
disaster.
So,
a
lot
will
ultimately
depend
on
how
the
promos
are
cut," said
Joginder.
As
such,
Rajinikanth
might
be
on
the
verge
of
proving
once
again
that
he
is
a
pan-India
brand.
In
case,
you
did
not
know,
Darbar
is
touted
to
be
a
commercial-entertainer
that
revolves
around
the
exploits
of
a
senior
cop.
It
stars
Nayanthara
as
the
leading
lady
opposite
Rajinikanth,
marking
her
second
full-fledged
collaboration
with
her
Chandramukhi
co-star.
The
buzz
is,
her
scenes
with
Rajini
have
come
out
better
than
expected.
Meanwhile,
Rajiniukanth
has
already
finalized
his
next
movie.
Post
Darbar,
he
will
be
teaming
up
with
mass
director
'Siruthai'
Siva
for
a
rural
flick,
being
referred
to
as
'Thalaivar
168'.
