Grapevine is abuzz with rumors that Rajnikanth has finalized his next project. A couple of visits by Rajnikanth to director Mani Ratnam's office in Chennai have sparked off rumours that the two would come together for a movie next.
After Guru, Mani Ratnam was supposed to commence his next starring Aamir Khan. However with the actor's Hindi version of Ghajini getting delayed, sources say Mani Ratnam would venture to do a movie with Rajnikanth.
Rajnikanth and Mani Ratnam last came together for Thalapathy released in 1991.
Produced and directed by Mani Ratnam himself, Thalapathy featured Mammootty, Shobana and Bhanu Priya besides Rajnikanth.
The familiar story of Karna from the epic Mahabaratha was skillfully modernized with typical 'Mani Ratnam trademark' screenplay and dialogues and foot-tapping numbers by Ilayaraja.
