30 Nov – It was reported that Sivakarthikeyan is set to guest star in the upcoming Rajinikanth movie. According to India Today, the "Ayalaan" star is said to be in talks to appear in the movie star's 171st project, which will be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
It is noted that Sivakarthikeyan was previously expected to be part of Rajinikanth's "Jailer", directed by Nelson Dilipkumar - the same filmmaker who helmed his hit movie, "Doctor". However, the said collaboration didn't pull through.
As for now, Lokesh is still working on the script of the movie, which he said will be a standalone film and not a part of his "Lokesh Cinematic Universe" like "Kaithi", "Vikram" and "Leo". Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is currently shooting his 170th movie with TJ Gnanavel, which also stars Amitabh Bachchan.
