Baba, which was released in 2002, had left fans of Rajinikanth unbelievably disappointed. The movie helmed by Suresh Krishna was said to be the last film of the Superstar as he was planning to take a plunge into politics. Movie buffs and political enthusiasts were keen on the film's result at the box office. 

The project, which released amid humongous expectations, bombed at the box office, after which the star reconsidered to his decision to quit films. He also settled the loss of distributors who lost money after the movie failed to meet the expectations. 

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.

A new picture of Rajinikanth and Suresh Krishna posing happily for the photo has also left fans thrilled. It is heard that the movie's release will be in a digitally enhanced and trimmed version.
