Superstar Rajinikanth is set to collaborate with director Nag Ashwin, who delivered the blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD. Industry reports confirm that Vyjayanthi Movies has already entered discussions to produce the film. If everything falls into place, fans will soon witness one of the most exciting pairings in Indian cinema.
Kalki 2 Faces Delay – Rajinikanth Project Emerges
Nag Ashwin planned to start work on Kalki 2898 AD Part 2. However, the sequel stalled because Prabhas committed his dates to The Raja Saab, Fauji, and Spirit. Since Prabhas’s schedule remains packed, the team cannot begin the much-awaited sequel anytime soon.
During this break, Nag Ashwin began exploring fresh stories. He even considered a women-centric film with Alia Bhatt, but her busy calendar prevented that project from moving forward. This gap opened the door for a new film with Rajinikanth.
The Meeting with Rajinikanth
Producer C. Ashwini Dutt of Vyjayanthi Movies arranged a meeting between Nag Ashwin and Rajinikanth. In that meeting, the director narrated a unique story idea to the superstar. Sources reveal that Rajinikanth loved the concept and asked Ashwin to expand it into a complete script. The response clearly shows that the project is moving in a serious direction and could enter development soon.
Rajinikanth’s Interest in Telugu Directors
Rajinikanth has actively shown interest in working with Telugu filmmakers in recent years. Vassishta Mallidi (Bimbisara fame) and Vivek Athreya already narrated their ideas to him, but he decided not to take them forward. With Nag Ashwin’s idea impressing him, this collaboration looks far more likely to happen.
What Fans Can Expect
If Rajinikanth approves the script, Vyjayanthi Movies will produce this project on a grand scale. The banner already backed Kalki 2898 AD, and Rajinikanth shares a strong bond with Ashwini Dutt, which increases the chances of this film materializing.
Fans now wait eagerly for updates on Coolie and the delayed Kalki 2. At the same time, the news of a Rajinikanth-Nag Ashwin film has created massive excitement in South cinema. With Ashwin’s history of unique storytelling in films like Mahanati and Kalki 2898 AD, and Rajinikanth’s unmatched charisma, this new project promises to deliver a true cinematic spectacle.
