After Dhanush, Rajinikanth Turns Joker!

South Indian star Dhanush had given us a glimpse of his Joker avatar in the Bollywood flick ‘Shamitabh’ starring Amitabh Bachchan and Akshara Haasan. And now, his father-in-law Rajinikanth has followed his footsteps and given us a Joker impersonation! While Dhanush gave us a more old-school Joker look, Rajinikanth opted for Heath Ledger’s version of Joker. But wait, there’s more to the story!

Recently a picture of Rajinikanth surfaced on the Internet claiming it to be the actor’s leaked look from his upcoming venture ‘Kabali’ directed by Ranjith. Rajini fans all around the globe started freaking out over the actor’s astonishing Joker avatar, only to have their hopes shattered. Turns out the photo isn’t of superstar Rajini after all! Vijay TV anchor Ma Ka Pa Anand has successfully fooled everyone by putting on tons of makeup to make himself look like Rajinikanth in Heath Ledger’s Joker avatar!

You surely fooled us there Anand! But it would certainly be interesting to see if Rajinikanth himself decides to be Joker someday and adds his Tamil twist to the iconic dialogue ‘Why So Serious?’. But we won’t be seeing any of that in his film ‘Kabali’ where he plays double roles, one of a Malaysian cop and another an underworld mafia. Bollywood actress Radhika Apte will be joining Thalaiva for the film.

According to sources the crew of the film forms of cinematographer G. Murali, editor Praveen KL, art director Ramalingam and choreographer Sathish. Ranjith has been spending quite some time abroad recently to take a look at the locations for shooting as per which Malaysia, Thailand and Hong Kong have been shortlisted for the film’s foreign locations. Rest of the shoot will be finished in Chennai and overall the schedule has been fixed for span of four months. Wait for ‘Kabali’ is on after this recent hoax!
