Kabali audio launch called off
Much to the disappointment of his fans, the mega event planned to launch the audio of superstar Rajinikanth's upcoming venture Kabali has been called off.
Sources say that Rajinikanth, who is presently holidaying in the United States with his family, will not be back in time for the launch, which was scheduled on June 12. Hence, the event has been scrapped.
The actor is, however, expected to be back for the release of the film on July 1 as announced previously.
After the audio launch was cancelled at the last minute, there were rumours that the film is most likely to be postponed to August.
Meanwhile, producer Kalaipuli S Thanu has released the audio tracklist on his Twitter page. The album will directly hit the stores on June 12 without any fanfare.
Based on the life of a gangster, the film is directed by Pa Ranjith of Madras fame.
Santhosh Naryanan has composed the music.
