The fact that this is Rajnikant and Shankar’s second film together after Sivaji – The Boss is a testimony to the star power they hold. It is therefore, predicted that the film will gross at least Rs. 1200 million – Rs. 1300 million more from ticket sales. One major factor behind the film’s success is the crazy fan-following that Rajnikant attracts in Tamil Nadu and his fans all over the world. Besides, as Koimoi.com had reported and predicted earlier, ticket rates for the movie were as much as Rs. 1,500 in some cases!
