Kabali new poster: Rajinikanth as an ageing don who don’t give up

Kabali’s new poster was revealed by the film’s director Pa Ranjith which shows a salt-n-pepper Rajinikanth emerge out of a hole, one that is ringed by skyscrapers.

Rajinikanth’s last outing, Lingaa, may not have fared well on the box office but the buzz around his upcoming gangster film Kabali is quite high. A new poster of the film was shared by its director Pa Ranjith on social media on Saturday. The poster shows Rajinikanth emerging from a hole (or some kind of a pit) even as hundreds of people cling on to him. The hole is ringed by images of skyscrapers with one resembling the Petronas Towers, a reference to Malaysia, where part of the film has been being shot.
