His next flick will be a feature film and will go on floors this summer, according to reports. There were speculations around Rajinikanth’s next projects and a recent report by Pinkvilla said that he will be seen in Nelson’s directorial.
A source told the entertainment portal that Rajinikanth and Nelson are teaming up for a film “that’s high on content with ample quirky elements in the screenplay.” The movie will go on floors by April end/Early May, the source said. The film will be released in theatres on a day between December 2022 to February 2023.
The film will be bankrolled by Sun Pictures which produced Rajinikanth’s previous movie Annaatthe. Music composer Anirudh Ravinchander has been finalised for music and background score in the movie. He has previously scored music for Rajinikanth starrer films Petta and Darbar.
