Additionally, in the discussion, the Maharaja director expressed his amazement at Rajinikanth’s humility and kindness. Furthermore, it was mentioned that they also talked about Nithilan Saminathan’s recent hit movie featuring Vijay Sethupathi, which the Maharaja was involved with.

The actor from Lal Salaam expressed to the director his deep affection for the crime thriller. Based on the photos, it appears that Rajinikanth and Nithilan Saminathan had a meeting at Rajinikanth’s home. In one of the pictures, Rajinikanth is seen dressed casually in a grey t-shirt and white veshti, while Nithilan can be spotted wearing denim and a white shirt.

Previously, Nithilan crossed paths with Thalapathy Vijay, and images of their encounter spread rapidly online. In an exclusive conversation with Touring Talkies, the director disclosed that Vijay was praising Nithilan for the outstanding screenplay he penned. Interestingly, Nithilan shared that Vijay had a comprehensive understanding of every aspect in the film.

Apart from this, he mentioned that he was feeling rather anxious about encountering the superstar. He then shared, “Whenever I felt jittery, Thalapathy Vijay simply smiled and told me to relax; everything is all right.”

In terms of his career, Rajinikanth has two eagerly anticipated movies coming up. The first is “Vettaiyan,” directed by TJ Gnanavel. This movie boasts an impressive cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Rithika Singh, and several others in significant roles, alongside the superstar himself.

Noteworthy is the fact that this film, Vettaiyan, brings together Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan for the first time in 33 years. According to reports, the narrative centers around an ex-cop who’s determined to solve a deep-seated mystery surrounding him.

As a diehard fan, I can’t contain my excitement! Not only will the charismatic Petta actor grace our screens again, but it’s for none other than Lokesh Kanagaraj’s upcoming masterpiece, Coolie! The filmmakers have just unveiled an intriguing title teaser that has me on the edge of my seat. I can hardly wait to see what unfolds!
