According to the industry grapevine, three well-known young directors &#8211;Karthik Subbaraj (Jigarthanda and<\/p>\n<p>Iraivi), Atlee (Mersal) and Aruvi fame Arun Prabhu Purushothaman &#8211; have pitched story ideas to Thalaivar and have expressed their interest to work with him.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 67-year-old hasn\u2019t given his nod yet to any of the three as he\u2019s not sure about signing any new film commitments. More clarity can be expected<\/p>\n<p>after the release of Kaala, in which Rajinikanth plays a slum lord turned gangster.<\/p>\n<p>Confirmed to hit the screens on April 27, Kaala has been directed by Pa Ranjith and it\u2019s his second time collaboration with the superstar after Kabali. The film is<\/p>\n<p>believed to revolve around the lives of oppressed Tamils in Mumbai and their fight for equality. Produced by Dhanush, the film also stars Nana Patekar, Pankaj<\/p>\n<p>Tripathi, Anjali Patil, Huma Qureshi and Samuthirakani in pivotal roles. It will have a simultaneous release in Telugu along with the Tamil version. Some rumours<\/p>\n<p>hint that the project might also be released in Hindi as it has dialogues in Hindi and Marathi since it\u2019s predominantly shot in Mumbai.<\/p>\n<p>Shankar\u2019s 2.0, a sequel to Enthiran, was supposed to originally hit the screens on April 27. The release of the magnum opus, rumoured to be made on a lavish<\/p>\n<p>budget of Rs 450 crore, has been deferred once again owing to high VFX work. As many as eleven studios from across the globe are currently working on the<\/p>\n<p>visual effects. At the film\u2019s audio launch in Dubai, VFX supervisor Srinivas Mohan said that 2.0 is undoubtedly the most challenging project he ever worked on.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has already been reported that superstar Rajinikanth is most likely to team up with Pa Ranjith once again after Kaala for a political drama before bidding adieu to cinema and shifting focus to a career in politics.
