Today is 'Kabali day' -- the day the latest film starring Rajinikanth is released. There is mass hysteria and fanfare surrounding the release of 'Kabali'. And the fever has gripped not just ordinary citizens, but even Indian sports stars.

While 65-year-old superstar's films always generate a lot of frenzy among people, this time even cricketers such as Ravichandran Ashwin, Suresh Raina, Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma and badminton aces like Saina Nehwal and Ashwini Ponnappa seem have come down with 'Kabali' fever.
