Speculations around director and ongoing projects
Rajinikanth is currently busy with the shoot of Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The film is a sequel to his 2023 blockbuster Jailer. Meanwhile, there are speculations that filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, who directed Haasan in Vikram, and Rajinikanth's Coolie, may direct the upcoming project. However, this has not been confirmed yet.
Project details
Haasan had announced the collaboration earlier
Earlier this month, Haasan had confirmed the project at an award show in Dubai. He said, "We were united long ago but chose to remain apart because they kept splitting a biscuit and giving us only half each." "We wanted a full biscuit each and we got it and relished it well. Now we are content with just half a biscuit again so we have come together."
