Cast Details and New Additions

Before the release of Haasan’s first look, it was confirmed through various sources that she will play a significant role in the film. In a now-deleted Instagram story, Haasan shared moments from her first day on the sets, hinting at the excitement surrounding her participation.

The film’s cast has been further enriched with the inclusion of well-known actors. Nagarjuna Akkineni is set to play a character named Simon, while Soubin Shahir, known for his work in Manjummel Boys, will portray Dayal. Additionally, the film features Sathyaraj and Upendra Rao in crucial roles. Sathyaraj confirmed his involvement through a media interaction, and Upendra Rao had previously shared a picture with Rajinikanth on set, although it was later removed.

Potential Bollywood Cameo and Future Projects

In an interesting development, there are discussions about Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan potentially making a cameo appearance in the film. Should this materialize, it would mark Khan’s second collaboration with Rajinikanth, following their 1995 film Aatank Hi Aatank. However, as of now, no official confirmation has been provided regarding this cameo.

Looking ahead, Rajinikanth is also preparing for his next film, Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanavel. This film is described as an action drama, with Rajinikanth playing the role of an IPS officer investigating a mysterious case. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier, Ritika Singh, and Dushara Vijayan. Scheduled for release on October 10, 2024, Vettaiyan has generated buzz, with hints from Anirudh about the release of the film’s first single soon.
