Superstar Rajini and Shankar to join hands for third time

Speculations were rife about superstar Rajinikanth joining hands with the magnum opus director, Shankar. The first time they came together was in 2007 for the film, “Shivaji” and later for the sci-fi entertainer movie, “Enthiran”. Both the movies went on to become blockbuster hit at the box office and sizzled the theaters across the globe.

If latest reports are to be believed, the duo is indeed getting together for another trendsetting film with a whopping budget of around Rs. 200 crores. The movie is likely to hit the floors in about 4-5 months’ time.  According to the reports, the film in question will be produced by the makers of action-thriller “Kaththi”. It is worth mentioning here that "Kaththi" had broken the record collection of Rajinikanth's 2007 film, "Sivaji" and also created history in the U.S. where the film garnered over $600K.

The ageing actor, Rajni, will be eagerly waiting for a good release as his previous two movies were a huge disaster at the box office. His mega budget movie "Kochadaiiyaan" and "Lingaa" did not live up to the audience expectations. Well, it remains to be seen if the upcoming movie will turn the tide in the favor of the super star.
