It is the first time in the history of Indian cinema that an airline has dedicated an aircraft to a movie. AirAsia India, the official airline partner for Rajinikanth-starrer Kabali, has devoted a special aircraft, bearing the images of the star. The airline, which recently tied up with the Rajinikanth starrer Kabali as the official airline partner, has announced a 'Fly like a Superstar' offer to promote the movie. The one-minute-six-seconds teaser which was released earlier went viral across the globe in merely minutes, and was trending in all countries. Now with this, the expectations for the film has literally reached sky.
The plane's exterior has a huge image of Rajinikanth as Don Kabali and also features the name of the film. The aircraft will be flying across the AirAsia India network of destinations spanning Bengaluru, New Delhi, Goa, Pune, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Guwahati, Imphal, Vizag and Kochi.
Celebrating the success of the movie's hit song Nerupuda, which means 'it's fire,' photographs released by Air Asia show the Kabali-themed aircraft glowing like embers.
The film release date announcement will be made by the film's producer Kalaipuli S Thanu himself after the censors. Kabali is directed by Pa Ranjith and has Superstar Rajinikanth and Radhika Apte in the lead. The gangster-drama also stars Winston Chao, Dinesh Ravi, Kalaiyarasan and Dhansika while the music for the film, directed by Pa Ranjith is by Santhosh Narayanan.
