Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam to reunite after 33 years for new project, deets inside

Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam are rumored to reunite after 33 years, setting the internet abuzz with excitement. According to recent reports, the iconic duo, who last worked together on the 1991 cult classic Thalapathi, are likely to collaborate on a new project. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this reunion, and if the rumors are true, the announcement may coincide with Rajinikanth’s 74th birthday on December 12.

Thalapathi was a modern retelling of the Mahabharata’s warrior prince Karna, where Rajinikanth played a brave orphan who befriends a powerful gangster. The film became a massive success and earned widespread critical acclaim, cementing Rajinikanth’s place as one of Tamil cinema's biggest stars.

Mani Ratnam’s directorial vision in Thalapathi has since become a touchstone in Tamil cinema, making the potential reunion between the two legends all the more exciting.

While there has been no official confirmation yet, sources suggest that Mani Ratnam is planning an ambitious project that will feature Rajinikanth in a lead role. The project is reportedly in its final stages of discussion, with fans hoping for an official announcement soon.
