According to a Pinkvilla report, the makers were supposed to throw a grand launch party for the movie in April but plans had to be changed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
“Kamal’s project with Rajinikanth is not shelved as rumours suggest. The makers were supposed to announce the project in April. However, due to then novel coronavirus crisis, things got postponed and the production is waiting for Rajini to finalise the dates. As of now, the team has decided to launch the project in November,” an unrevealed source was quoted as saying.
If the Tamil film actually gets made, the mega stars of Kollywood Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth associating in the same film is sure to attract attention. While the film will see the Robot star in the lead role, the movie will be produced by Haasan’s production house Raaj Kamal Films International.
