Rajinikanth’s Dupe Mimics Kabali On Stage; Video Goes Viral As His Act Turns Utterly Wrong!

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.
