RAJINIKANTH : I WILL GO IF DIRECTOR SHANKAR CALLS ME AGAIN

Rajinikanth, during the special interview telecast by a private satellite channel on Diwali, revealed that Shankar approached him with three stories – Robot/Endhiran, Sivaji and another film which is based on mystery of India and is about a hunchback.

Shankar was keen on casting with Rajini in Robot but the Superstar declined the offer thinking that he is being offered the villan role as there was a talk at that time that Shah Rukh Khan is being considered to play the lead role.

Rajini was also skeptical if would suit the scientist role and declined the offer. Then it was decided he would star in the Sivaji as it was a mass film that Rajini is used to.

After working with Shankar in Sivaji, the Superstar was so confident about the director’s capabilities that he agreed to star in the Robot/Endhiran. He also divulged that he took up the offer only because Shankar was wielding the megaphone.

So, do we get to see Shankar and Rajini joining hands for the third time as two of their ventures together have turned out to be blockbusters? Will the Superstar play the hunchback?

K S RAVI KUMAR UNSURE ABOUT DIRECTING ACTOR RAJINI

There have been reports that director KS Ravi Kumar will direct the feature film portions of Hara, an animation film which was earlier titled Sultan the warrior. Soundarya is directing the animated version of this film. But sources close to the director say that this is not official yet. Though KS Ravi Kumar has been discussing Hara with Rajini, whom he meets on a regular basis, he hadn’t actually signed the papers to direct the film.

We also hear from our sources in Kollywood, that Ochre Studios, the producers of Hara, will make a formal announcement on who will direct Hara’s feature film segment.
