Superstar Rajini and A.R.Murugadoss for a Ramana-like blockbuster?




A few days back, the big news in K-Town was regarding a possible first time union between Superstar Rajinikanth and ace director A.R.MurugadossAascar Films was reported to be funding this extravaganza. A section of the media was also saying that this film would be a remake of Murugadoss' own Telugu film Stalin, which he made with Chiranjeevi some years back.
 
When we inquired in this regard, we came to know that Aascar Films' V. Ravichandran indeed had a meeting with the Superstar recently, and that it was just a courtesy call. A.R.Murugadoss is already in Mumbai, busy with work on his Akira, with Sonakshi Sinha in the lead. After Lingaa, Rajini hasn't started work on any film yet, and everyone is eager to know about his next move. So as of now, it is all a speculation but what if such a project happens?
 
Rajini as we know is the biggest Superstar down South and Murugadoss is a part of a very few directors with such an enviable strike rate all across the country in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Both of them are among the highest paid actors and directors respectively, and when they join hands, only the biggest producer with really deep pockets, would be able to afford such a project. And Aascar Films fits this description very well. Their productions over the years such as 'I', Dasavatharam and Anniyan have continuously raised the benchmarks for the Tamil industry in many aspects.
 
With a penchant for hard-hitting, message based commercial cinema such as Ramana, Thuppakki and Kaththi, A.R.Murugadoss would be the ideal man to exploit the Superstar's larger than life image and mass reach. Just imagining Rajini in a movie like Ramana would send goosebumps to every cinema fan.
 
So a socially relevant big-budgeted blockbuster with Rajini and ARM, and funded by Aascar Films would be like THE DREAM movie. Will the dream bear fruition? Given the unpredictable ways of the industry, we have to wait and watch how it all unfolds.
