Rajnikanth is known to go to any lengths to keep his fans happy. This time, he will break a promise.

The superstar’s new release Kochadaiyyan won’t make it into theatres in time for Diwali, as he had promised. This is the actor’s first release after his recent health scare; his only release in the last two years and for, at least, the next two years. Theatres all over Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and other parts of the South were already being booked in bulk.
