‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth will begin the second leg of filming on his Darbar being directed by A. R. Murugadoss under the Lyca Productions banner from tomorrow (May 29) at Mumbai.

Announced to be a Pongal 2020 release, the upcoming mass action entertainer will also include Nayanthara as the female lead, Bollywood actors Suniel Shetty and Prateik Babbar as the antagonists with music being composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

Rajinikanth Darbar

Meanwhile, in a surprising turn of events, Rajinikanth had invited Viswasam director Siva to his residence at Poes Garden in Chennai earlier today (May 28). Reports started doing the rounds that the veteran actor had called on the hit filmmaker to appreciate him for his recent blockbuster with ‘Thala’ Ajith in the lead role released earlier this year.

That said, the interaction between the two had lasted for well over a hour and there is a possibility that director Siva could have narrated a story to Rajinikanth during their meeting.

Director Siva

To get further details surrounding the meeting, we here at Galatta had tried to get in touch with director Siva, who was unavailable for a comment. It must be noted that both of them had previously met well over a year back with talks since the time of Vedalam’s release that the two would come together for film.

As of now, it remains to be seen what Rajinikanth has planned for his next film while director Siva will be kickstarting his film with Suriya tentatively titled Suriya 39 under the Studio Green banner from July.
