Want To Have Kabali Rajinikanth As A Neighbour?

The enigma of superstar Rajinikanth has again swept the world off its feet with the latest release Kabali. The popularity of Rajinikanth and the waves his Kabali had generated even before its release can be gauged from the fact that some of the big companies in Bengaluru and Chennai had gone so far as to declare July 22 as a holiday. Why did they do that? Because Rajinikanth's Kabali was getting released on July 22. There's no doubt that 65-year-old Rajinikanth continues to be Thalaivar (The Leader), as his fans fondly call him.  

Even as the movie Kabali received a mixed response from the critics, it went on to earn a whopping Rs 250 crore on the very first day of its release. This only shows the power Rajinikanth, after a long journey from being a bus conductor to being the winner of the Padma Vibhushan award, wields.

It's true that the actor resides in the hearts of million of his fans. But Rajinikanth also owns some opulent real estate. Among his properties in India are two state-of-the-art bungalows — one each in Chennai and Pune.

While there is little information available in the real estate circuit about his Pune property, the bungalow in Chennai has been the talk of the town for a while now. A huge bungalow with his name written in steel on the entry wall, this property is located at Poes Garden, one of the posh localities in Chennai.

A hit among the who's who of the city and home to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, Poes garden has some of the best properties in Chennai. In July 2015, a member company of the BGR Group had bought a land parcel of 13,202 sq ft belonging to the TVS Motors family for Rs 40 crore. BGR Group is one of the leading players in the power sector.
