The highly anticipated multistarrer featuring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan is set to be directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the mastermind behind Jailer. This news has sent shockwaves in the Tamil film industry, with fans eagerly awaiting the epic collaboration. Nelson is currently busy with Jailer 2, which is expected to release on June 12, 2026, and will likely begin pre production on the multistarrer soon after.
Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan last shared the screen in 1979, and this reunion is a once in a lifetime opportunity for fans. The project is being produced by Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI) and Red Giant Movies, two powerhouse banners. Nelson's selection as director signals confidence in his ability to balance both megastars' screen presence while delivering crowd pleasing entertainment.
The film's script is reportedly lighter and more entertaining, aligning with Rajinikanth's desire for a change of pace after his intense role in Coolie. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who was initially considered for the project, has opted to focus on Kaithi 2, allowing Nelson to take the reins. Kamal Haasan is currently working with Anbariv masters, while Rajinikanth is busy with Jailer 2 and a potential quick project with Sundar.
With Nelson at the helm, fans can expect a visually stunning and emotionally resonant narrative. The project is likely to go on floors by the end of 2026 or early 2027, with a tentative release in 2027 or 2028. Given the massive expectations surrounding this film, it's poised to be a game changer in Tamil cinema.
