12 Jun – Rumours are rife that Amitabh Bachchan may reunite with Rajinikanth in the latter's upcoming movie with TJ Gnanavel. A source close to the Thalaivar stated that discussions are currently underway with the Big B, though nothing has been signed in black and white yet. If it comes to fruition, this will be their first movie together in 32 years, after working last in 1991's Hindi movie "Hum". It is noted that the two have also collaborated in "Andhaa Kaanoon" and "Geraftaar".
The film currently has no title and is only using the working title of "Thalaivar 170". Sources claimed that Rajinikanth will play the role of a Muslim police officer and that the movie is based on a true incident. The actor recently wrapped up filming his new movie, "Jailer" and recently seen shooting some scenes for his daughter Aishwaryaa's directorial effort, "Lal Salaam."
