'Kabali' Rajinikanth's surprise appearance at film's show

Superstar Rajinikanth marked his return to the big screen with his action flick 'Kabali'. Fans across the globe flocked to theatres to watch his movie and the proof is in the weekend box office report. 
The Rajinikanth-starrer film has earned Rs100 crore from theatres in Tamil Nadu itself and another two million dollars in the US.
Fans of the superstar were in for a complete shock when the man himself walked into a theatre in the US.
According to film distribution company, CineGalaxy Inc., Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwaryaa orchestrated the surprise for movie goers in Fairfax by bringing her father to the special screening.
Rajinikanth was dressed in a plain brown shirt and made his fans extremely happy with his surprise visit.
Tickets for "Kabali", which stars Rajinikanth as an ageing gangster, sold out well before the release and were changing hands on the black market for up to 5,000 rupees ($75) - a huge sum for most Indians, reports AFP.
The 65-year-old Tamil language cinema icon inspires an almost god-like adulation in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, where fans refer to him simply as "The Superstar".
Fans cut their hair in the style of Rajinikanth's character and some even had his face tattooed on their arms as they awaited the release.

In Chennai fans set off firecrackers, gave out sweets and poured milk over giant posters adverting the movie - a tradition that derives from the ritual bathing of Hindu idols in milk.
Several companies in the city, a burgeoning IT hub, said so many staff had asked for Friday off that they had decided to simply close for the day.
This is not the first story of actors surprising fans at movie halls. The actor in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, John Boyenga, made surprise appearances at various theaters across New York last December to stun fans.
