Rajinikanth‘s upcoming movie Kabali is set to rock the screens next year. Kabali is one of the most highly anticipated movies next year. The superstar will be playing a gangster in the movie. Radhika Apte will be playing the lady lead. Director Pa Ranjith is handling this project. Mr Ranjith is a rather new face in Tamil industry and has given us two refreshing movies like Attakathi and Madras. Kabali will be his third venture.

The first look of the movie created quite a buzz in social media. Now here is another recent development from the project. It seems that the villian’s role will be played by a Chinese actor. As soon as this news was out, rumors started flying that famous actor and martial artist Jet Li has been roped in by director Ranjith. But the rumor was soon dispelled. A whole lot of names from the Chinese film industry have been speculated to play baddie in Kabali, however no one has been officially confirmed.

What has been confirmed is that a Chinese actor will definitely be playing the antagonist in Kabali. Hollywood actor Arnold Schwarzeneger was supposed to play villian in Enthiran 2 or 2.O which also stars Rajinikanth. But this news was proven false which led to much disappointment among the fans. Hopefully the news of a Chinese actor playing the baddie in Kabali turns out to be true.
