Director Venkat Prabhu, has apparently seen the film today (November 17), who tweeted, "Omg #justiceleague is kickass!! Loved it!!! @Premgiamaren @vasukibhaskar u guys are in for a treat!!! #Goosebumps moments!!! #heisback @DCComics", asking his family members, Premgi and Vasuki to catch the film as soon as possible.
Padayappa: Kabali is not the first film in which Rajinikanth is playing an ageing man's role. He has done it a lot of times before and Padayappa is one among those films. The film also had another reference to his political aspirations. Superstar was insinuating with his kickass one liner not to drag him into politics and leave him alone.
