Though it is not official yet, AR Murugadoss is the front-runner apparently to direct Superstar Rajinikanth's next film. When we asked ARM about this project, this is what he had to say:
"Not just me, any contemporary director for that matter would be a fan of Rajini sir. All of us would have had our own fan moment, going to buy tickets for his movies in spite of all the crowd frenzy. Just meeting Rajini sir is like going to watch an opening show of his film for me. Whenever I go to his house to meet Rajini sir, the fan in me always wants to whistle while seeing him.
Yes, I have met him and narrated a script to him. He said he liked it. Things change so drastically in the film industry. I sincerely hope that he calls me to direct a film. I am waiting with a lot of hope."
Is it going to be another political film?
"I shouldn't be doing political films one after another. I did Ramana, then Kaththi and now Sarkar. All these films were political films but were different in their own way. When we do political films continuously, we might get bored at one point and even the audience will start thinking that this director only knows to make political films. So the film that I have planned for Rajini sir is a fantasy film based on my imagination but everything will get confirmed only in the further meetings with sir."
