The teaser of the Rajinijkanth-starrer, Kabali is yet to be released yet but the anticipation has already fuelled Thalaiva mania across Tamil Nadu. Chennai seems to have caught the Kabali fever and posters of the film have taken over most buildings as well as buses and trains in the metropolitan city. To build further excitement, the makers of the film are also releasing new posters of the film every week ahead of it's release.

Now, a bakery owner in Chennai has created a huge chocolate statue of Rajinikanth in Kabali's avatar. The statue has been reportedly made using 600 kilograms of chocolate. The chocolate statue has turned into quite the attraction and the bakery has reported huge crowds thronging to take a selfie with the statue.

Kabali is expected to hit screens worldwide on 27 May 2016. The Rajinikanth starrer was scheduled to release in April but was postponed as the date coincided with those of the Assembly Elections in Tamil Nadu.

The teaser of the film will be released on 14 April, alongside the release of the much-anticipated Ilayathalapathy Vijay-starrer, Theri.

Here's a look at the chocolate statue:
