CONFIRMED! Rajinikanth Finds an Awesome Antagonist in Vijay Sethupathi for Karthik Subbaraj's Next
Talking about Rajinikanth's other movies, he will be seen next in Pa Ranjith's Kaala.
When it was announced that the talented young director Karthik Subbaraj is directing Rajinikanth in his next, we were pretty excited. After all, anything that Rajinikanth does is a phenomenon in itself. Karthik Subbaraj, meanwhile, is considered as one of the finest young directors we have in our country. Having helmed Pizza, Jigarthanda, Iraivi and Mercury, this is a director who doesn't rely on usual tropes and narrative techniques to tell a story. So it will quite exciting to see how Subbaraj will be handling the superstardom of Rajinikanth in his next.
If this pairing is not exciting enough, we now hear that Vijay Sethupathi has been roped in as the antagonist in the movie. Vijay Sethupathi is Subbaraj's favourite actor, having worked with him in Pizza, Jigarthanda (a cameo as himself) and Iraivi, and is known for his talent to deliver scene-stealing performances. We can't wait to see how Sethupathi will torment Thalaiva in the movie and expect their face-off scenes to be electrifying! The yet-untitled movie is produced by Sun Pictures.
Talking about Rajinikanth's other movies, he will be seen next in Pa Ranjith's Kaala. Set to release on June 7, this Mumbai-based gangster drama has Rajinikanth play a slum-lord with Nana Patekar playing the main antagonist. Huma Qureshi, Eswari Rao, and Samuthirakani also have important roles in the movie. His much-awaited sci-fi thriller, 2.0, with Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson is still awaiting a release date.
