Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan's Multistarrer Confirmed, But With A Major Change

Chennai, September 17 - The Tamil film industry has been buzzing with a mutlistarrer, featuring the two icons of Indian cinema, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan. The news about the duo coming together after many decades has been making noise for the last few weeks, especially since they have officially confirmed the mega collab.

While the legendary duo have officially confirmed that they are coming together, the uncertainty over the director is still looming large. Interestingly, it was reported that Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has directed both the superstars in Coolie and Vikram, had narrated a two-hero script to them and was supposed to direct the film. But it seems the project is not happening with Lokesh anymore.

According to the social media buzz, Lokesh Kanagaraj has backed out of the film, which will now reportedly be directed by some other director. The official confirmation about the same is not revealed yet, and if true, there is no clarity on why the Leo director is not directing it. There have been rumours that Pradeep Ranganathan might direct the film.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth told the media at Chennai airport that the movie will be produced by Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International and Red Giant Movies, but the director and script have not been finalised, which has hinted but confirmed that Lokesh Kanagaraj is not in the fray.

Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan last appeared together in the 1979 fantasy film Alavuddinum Athbutha Vilakkum, following earlier collaborations in Ninaithale Inikkum (1979), Aval Appadithan (1978), and 16 Vayathinile (1977). Meanwhile, Rajinikanth will next be seen in director Nelson's Jailer 2, while Kamal Haasan has Shankar's Indian 2.
