Tamil superstar Rajinikanth, who is currently preparing for the grand release of his upcoming action thriller Coolie on August 14, is reportedly in talks for a new project with a rising Tollywood filmmaker. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, marks Rajinikanth’s return to a full-fledged action role, and industry buzz suggests that his next film may offer a fresh narrative approach.
According to sources, director Vivek Athreya, known for his unique storytelling in Telugu cinema, is likely to helm the superstar’s next film. The project is said to be backed by leading production house Mythri Movie Makers, which is reportedly planning a large-scale collaboration with the veteran actor.
While an official confirmation is awaited, speculation about the project has already sparked widespread interest among fans and industry insiders. If finalised, this will be Vivek Athreya’s first venture with Rajinikanth and one of the most anticipated cross-industry collaborations in recent times.
