Following the exit of Sundar C from ‘Thalaivar 173’ , reports have intensified that actor-filmmaker Dhanush may step in to direct Rajinikanth’s next big project under Kamal Haasan’s production banner, Raaj Kamal Films International.
If confirmed, this would be a landmark collaboration connecting three of Tamil cinema’s biggest forces:
Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan (as producer), and Dhanush, who previously impressed critics with his directorial debut ‘Pa Paandi’ and the recently released ‘Idly Kadai’.
Industry insiders suggest that discussions are progressing steadily, and fans are particularly excited due to the personal family connection—Dhanush directing his father-in-law for the first time.
However, an official announcement from the team is still awaited to confirm this much-buzzed-about development.
