- Kabali's was actually a fan made poster, inspired by Irrfan's poster
Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan said his statement that superstar Rajinikanth's film
Kabali has stolen the poster of his upcoming film
Madaari was a mere joke.
"I respect Rajinikanth
ji, as a human and as an actor, and what I said about the poster was a joke. I want to clarify that the poster which I talked about was made by one of his fan clubs," Irrfan told reporters during an event to promote
Madaari.
Recently Irrfan had said makers of Rajnikanth's film
"stole the poster" of his upcoming movie.
Both the posters feature the lead actors, Irrfan and Rajinikanth, with numerous buildings and skyscrapers placed horizontally on them.
Talking about
Madaari, Irrfan said the movie is about the realization of an individual that there is a hero inside him.
"The movie is about the system we live in and if we do not question the wrongs, it starts serving those who run it," he said.
