The Times of India reported that after the attack, the hacker followed Kamal Haasan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kabali’s director Pa Ranjith, Kabali’s producer Kalai Puli S Thanu and publicist Riaz Ahmed. The account has since un-followed these people after being restored.
Rajinikanth made an impressive comeback with Kabali, which has turned out to be India’s biggest opener grossing Rs 48 crores (domestic market) according to IANS, unlike his last two outings, Lingaa and Kochadaiiyaan.
