Actor Irrfan Khan says that southern megastar Rajinikanth's film "Kabali" have stolen the poster of his upcoming film "Madaari" but said it was no big deal and urged fans to go for both films.

Present at a mall in Mumbai for the promotion of the film, Irrfan, asked about the similarity between the films' posters, said: "Even I didn't know that. We are small filmmakers, I saw that Rajinikanthji's film stole the poster of our film. You see his film's poster and see our film's poster. No big deal about it. Watch his film and watch our film, too."

Both the posters see the faces of the lead actors, Irrfan Khan and Rajinikanth, with numerous buildings and skyscrapers standing horizontally on their faces.

Though the "Madaari" poster is mentioned as its official poster, loyal fans of Rajinikanth have clarified, on a website talking about the comparison, that the "Kabali" poster in question is a fan-made one and not the official poster.

There are numerous posters of "Kabali" doing the rounds on social media. Rajiniknath had shared two posters on his Twitter account in September last year, when the shooting had begun.

But among the recent ones, the one with Rajiniknath, Radhika Apte and 'China actor' Wilson Choa, one in which he is staring at a gun in his hand, one where he is sitting on a sofa and one showing him with sunglasses in side profile, have been the popular ones.

About "Madaari", Irrfan also said: "The film is a thriller, the film is talking about you. It is talking about 150 crore people, that there is a hero in every person and when that person wakes up then no one can face that person."

About the experience of working with director Nishikant Kamat, he said: "It felt very good. Nishinkant Kamat had made a film 'Drishyam', before that he made 'Force' and before that he had made 'Mumbai Meri Jaan', and we had worked together on that film. We got the opportunity to work again in this film. The film is a solid thriller, you will enjoy it. There is a message in it. People will take their message on their own."

"Madaari" releases on July 15.

dont understand why some are blaming Rajnikanth...as though he designed it...the thing is rajni, his movies, his mannerism, his dialogues, his style and even his name are copied and used in many south and hindi movies, but not even once I see him complaining...

I too dont like him romancing with young girls but here thats not the issue...furthermore isnt this practiced all over india in entertainment business...e.g the khans and kumars arent young either but they act with so much younger heroines, same goes to other superstars in mollywood and tollywood, why only rajni is targetted...and to say he is a superstar in south and not other parts of the world is not true...he has strong fan base in many countries including countries like japan where they dont even speak one word of tamil...

@whitewitch Name is big for any film? Yeah right! Romancing actresses that are young enough to be his granddaughter, yeah he has a great fan following and that's limited to the south of India only. Grow up? It's you that needs to grow up. Rajnikanth might be a superstar in the south but in other parts of the world he is nothing. How many people outside of India know about Rajnikanth? People definitely know Irrfan Khan outside and inside. If you guys admire someone who romances women that are his grandaughter's age, then I can only pity you.

@Cshafkat what you mean disappointed by rajnikant.as if he himself copied the poster.
Rajnikanth is one of the highest paid actor and had a huge fan following than iffan khan ever imagine.
If a fan made poster made this problems then don't blame our superstar.
Grow up.
Go to you YouTube and just look how much people till now watched kabali teaser.

If you like Mr khan and madari.go ahead.
But don't moack rajnikanth as if he is wanted publicity for this stunt.
Rajnikanth far beyond that . his name itself is biggest for any film
