Fans have been eagerly waiting to know who will direct the multi starrer film featuring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.
After speculations around Lokesh Kanagaraj and Pradeep Ranganathan reports now suggest that Nelson may helm the project.
Tamil media sources say Nelson recently narrated a script to both actors, which they liked. Rajini reportedly wasn’t keen on Lokesh’s violent action story but appreciated Nelson’s lighter themed script.
Nelson is currently working on Jailer 2 with Rajini and if he takes up the multi-starrer, it will be his third film with Rajinikanth and first with Kamal Haasan. Pre-production is expected after Jailer 2.
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth will work with Sundar C and Kamal Haasan with Anbariv. Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Kaithi 2 remains his next big project.
