~ The Koboi Project

‘Director Suresh Krissna, explains the reasoning behind the re-release of Superstar Rajinikanth’s 2002 flop, Baba in 2022. Suresh notes that Rajinikanth felt that a re-release might work today, in the context of the rise of fantasy-oriented content, as proved by the success of Kantara and Karthikeya. Baba has been. The film was released in theatres on December 10th, two days before the Superstar’s birthday.
