After a three-year hiatus, he made a huge comeback with Chandramukhi, and there was no looking back for the numero uno hero of Kollywood. Many wrote him off after the debacle of Baba, but Rajinikanth went on to leave his fans and others into a tizzy with his stylized performance in a few more movies later.

It is now getting re-released, and the news has sent his fans excited to the core. Many of them have been taking to social media to express their excitement.
