After the huge buzz around Coolie, fans are now eagerly waiting to know what Rajinikanth will do next. Jailer 2 has already caught public attention, but there is an even bigger conversation unfolding in the film industry. The key question is about which director the superstar will team up with for his next film.
Among all the speculations, one rumour in particular is making fans nervous. There are strong reports that Rajinikanth is seriously considering reuniting with director Siruthai Siva. This has caused concern for many, especially after their previous collaboration on Annaatthe, which was released in Telugu as Peddanna. The film did not perform well in Tamil Nadu and was a complete failure in the Telugu-speaking states. It received criticism for being outdated and overly sentimental, mainly because of its heavy focus on sister emotion.
Adding to the worry is the recent performance of Kanguva, Siruthai Siva’s film starring Suriya. Promoted as a major pan-India project, the film took nearly four years to complete. But despite all the hype, it turned out to be a major letdown. Many Suriya fans believe it wasted a significant chunk of his career without delivering the impact it promised.
Insiders reveal that Siva has already met Rajinikanth several times and has pitched a new story. While Rajinikanth is said to be interested, he plans to decide only after hearing the full narration. However, many fans are hoping the news is not true. They feel the superstar would benefit more from working with younger directors who can offer modern storytelling and a fresh perspective.
At this stage of his legendary career, Rajinikanth has little left to prove, but a lot to safeguard. With Coolie expected to cross Rs. 1000 crore, the pressure is even higher to maintain that success. Choosing the right director will play a big role in helping him continue his winning streak while also staying relevant to younger fans.
