The kind of hype that is generated by this superstar Rajinikanth film is palpable , and the film is now witnessing unprecedented numbers for any Tamil film till date.

If we look at the other end of the spectrum and analyse the kind of enigma that is carrying into this film and the mass mania created by Rajinikanth, here’s a deduction.

Superstar Rajinikanth is truly a star among stars in the United States. When one of his films arrive with pre release hype, the frenzy it sparks is nothing short of legendary. The hype, the energy, and the celebrations are unmatched.

When a hyped Rajini film releases, the fan shows and pre-release celebrations are on a whole different level. While a few other Indian actors also enjoy these type of celebrations and fans shows, the magnitude for Rajini is in a league of its own.

In the US, premieres for most Indian movies are usually driven by the younger diaspora, with older folks waiting to come out till the talk comes out. But Rajini is the exception. He pulls all sets of audience from kids to senior citizens right from premieres.

Even the Telugu audience in America come out for his hyped films on par with Telugu stars. Rajinikanth is a once in a generation star, the most celebrated Indian actor in USA.
