Kollywood's
Thalaiva
Rajinikanth
recently
made
headlines
when
he
returned
to
Chennai
a
month
after
his
stay
in
the
US
for
a
medical
check-up.
A
lot
of
videos
and
pictures
of
the
stalwart
surfaced
on
the
internet
after
he
was
spotted
at
the
Chennai
International
Airport
yesterday
(July
9)
in
the
early
hours.
As
fans
celebrated
his
comeback
on
social
media
by
trending
#WelcomeBackAnnaatthe,
what
deviated
the
attention
of
most
netizens
is
a
video
of
Rajinikanth's
lookalike.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
Presumably
taken
from
an
event,
the
video
features
a
mimicry
artist
who
tries
to
mimic
Thalaiva's
Kabali
character
on
stage.
Though
the
artist
impresses
the
audiences
with
his
surreal
resemblance
to
the
legendary
actor,
he
later
falls
down
after
his
stunt
with
a
chair
fails
miserably.
In
the
video,
a
few
can
be
seen
rushing
towards
the
talented
mimicry
artist
to
help
and
check
if
he
is
fine.
The
video
shared
by
Niranjan
Mahapatra
on
his
Instagram
handle,
has
indeed
taken
over
the
internet
with
many
appreciating
the
lookalike
for
his
efforts
and
hoping
the
video
reaches
Rajinikanth
very
soon.
With
respect
to
Rajinikanth,
the
actor
will
soon
start
dubbing
for
his
upcoming
film
Annaatthe
in
Hyderabad.
The
film
written
and
directed
by
Siva
will
have
the
actor
playing
the
role
of
a
fun-loving
village
sarpanch
(head).
Apart
from
the
star,
the
rural
drama
will
also
feature
Lady
Superstar
Nayanthara,
National
Award-winning
actress
Keerthy
Suresh
along
with
Jagapathi
Babu,
Meena
Sagar,
Khushbu
Sundar,
Prakash
Raj,
Soori,
Sathish,
George
Maryan
and
Vela
Ramamoorthy
in
key
roles.
Backed
by
Sun
Pictures,
the
film
has
music
composed
by
Viswasam
fame
Imman
and
camera
cranked
by
Vetri.
Annaatthe
is
currently
slated
to
release
on
November
4
coinciding
with
Diwali.
The
first
look
poster
featuring
Rajinikanth
will
reportedly
be
out
soon.
