Meanwhile, Rajinikanth currently awaits the release of AR Murugadoss directed Darbar, which also stars Nayanthara, Sunil Shetty, Pratiek Babbar, Nivetha Thomas and Yogi Babu in key roles. The film marks the return of Rajinikanth in the role of a cop after 25 years since he donned the khaki in Pandian.
