the
Rajinikanth
starring
action
thriller

on
January
9,
2020
as
a
Pongal
special
release.
The
movie,
which
hit
the
theaters
as
Rajnikanth's
first
release
for
the
year,
earned
mixed
reviews
from
the
audiences
and
did
an
average
business
at
the
box
office.
Darbar
marked
Thalaivar's
first
collaboration
with
popular
filmmaker
AR
Murugadoss.
Now,
the
sources
close
to
the
project
have
revealed
a
highly
exciting
piece
of
news.
As
per
the
reports,
Darbar
is
all
set
to
have
its
world
television
premiere
very
soon.
If
things
fall
in
place,
the
Rajinikanth
starrer
will
be
telecasted
in
Sun
TV

Darbar
Hindi

was
recently

Earlier,
Darbar
had
made
headlines
after
the
distributors
decided
to
go
on
a
hunger
strike
if
losses
made
by
the
movie
are
not
compensated.
Later,
Rajinikanth
reduced
his
remuneration
by
almost
50
percent
to
compensate
the
distributors
for
their
loss.
Despite
being
released
in
about
4000
screens
all
over
the
world,
the
AR
Murugadoss
directorial
failed
to
meet
the
expectations
and
did
not
emerge
as
a
blockbuster.

the

appeared
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Rajinikanth
in
Darbar,
thus

composed
the
