Superstar Rajinikanth's much-talked-about Tamil film "Kabali" will be dubbed and released in Telugu with the same name. The makers of the movie have released the first look of its Telugu version.

"Kabali" is a crime thriller written and directed by Pa Ranjith. It was rumoured earlier that this Tamil movie would be dubbed in Telugu and released as "Mahadeva". But the three posters of its Telugu version, which were released on the net today, have proved those reports wrong.

Two of the three posters of "Kabali" feature the stylish getups of Rajinikanth, who looks stunning with his grey hair and beard. Another poster shows Rajini holding some people captive with a chain. The posters have created a lot of curiosity about the film, but the makers have kept its story under wraps. Click here to see Kabali Telugu poster
