Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming untitled Tamil movie will be a Pa Ranjith directorial and will begin shooting in August in Malaysia.
To be produced by Kalaipuli S Dhanu, the film will be written and directed by Ranjith of “Madras” and “Attakathi” fame.
“gud news to all thalaivar fans. @superstarrajini @theVcreations @beemji movie announced just Now (sic),” Rajinikanth’s publicist Riaz K Ahmed tweeted.
Santosh Narayanan will compose music while Murali G will handle the camera work on the movie. The duo had worked with Ranjith in “Madras.”
For Kalaipuli Dhanu, a noted film producer of Tamil cinema, it is a dream come true to produce a Rajinikanth film. He is credited to have prefixed the “superstar” tag to Rajinikanth when he distributed the actor’s first solo hero Tamil movie “Bhairavi” in 1978.
After 60-day schedule in Malaysia, the shooting will move to Thailand, Hong Kong and Chennai.
The casting of other stars, including a heroine opposite Rajinikanth, is still in the process.
Rajinikanth’s previous movie “Lingaa” which released last year bombed at the box office and the actor faced some issues with a section of distributors, who wanted him to refund them.
