Rajinikanth to work with Sundar C before Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film?

Speculation is swirling in the Tamil film industry, with strong reports suggesting that Superstar Rajinikanth had initially planned to collaborate with director Sundar C before moving forward with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s much talked about project. While no official announcements have been made, the possibility of a Rajinikanth – Sundar C film has caught the attention of fans and insiders alike.

Since early today, social media has been buzzing with rumors that Sundar C might direct Rajinikanth’s next film: a potential reunion after their 1997 hit Arunachalam. Sources claim that discussions were underway and that more details, including the producer and production banner, would be revealed soon. However, neither Rajinikanth’s team nor Sundar C has issued any confirmation so far, keeping the speculation wide open.

Rajinikanth, who recently returned from a spiritual retreat in the Himalayas, is currently in the process of listening to scripts before finalizing his next steps. Though the news of a possible Sundar C project gained traction, parallel reports indicate that Rajinikanth has already given the green light to a major film with Lokesh Kanagaraj. This film, which is said to also feature Kamal Haasan, has generated immense excitement even though an official announcement is still pending. Nevertheless, sources close to the project suggest that the collaboration has been locked in and is moving forward.

What makes the situation more interesting is Rajinikanth’s reported plan to complete a quick film with Sundar C before beginning work on Lokesh Kanagaraj’s big budget venture. The idea seems to be to wrap up a shorter, more contained project while Lokesh finishes the script and screenplay for his film. Rajinikanth is said to be keen on starting Lokesh’s film the moment everything is ready, ensuring that there are no unnecessary delays on either front.

If these reports hold true, fans may be in for back to back Rajinikanth releases, a fast-paced entertainer directed by Sundar C, followed by a landmark project under Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction. While official word is still awaited, the buzz alone is enough to keep the excitement alive in Kollywood.
