A picture of a Rajinikanth look-alik, sporting face paint like Heath Ledger's Joker went viral yesterday with everyone assuming it was a selfie taken by the super star on the sets of Kabaali. Minutes ago, the director of the film Pa. Ranjith and also Rajinikanth's PRO cleared the air, by revealing that it is not Rajinikanth in the photo. Reportedly, it is Ma Ka Pa Anand, an anchor of a popular Television Channel. As Rajinikanth fans are eagerly awaiting the first look poster of Kabali, they are ready to believe pictures with even the slightest semblance of him to belong to Kabali!
