Rajini back to Coolie on October 15th - Mohanlal waits for Kamal's Gift

 

Lokesh Kanagaraj has told the media that Rajinikanth will report for shooting of Coolie on October 15^th. He said that Rajinikanth had informed the unit that he would be going to Apollo and that he was not suddenly rushed to the hospital. 40 days ago he knew about the treatment and told the unit. He said that if it was emergency then would Coolie unit continue shooting ?.

We had always maintained that it was no emergency situation and also debunked those who blamed Lokesh for giving overwork to Rajini. Read https://southfilmy.blogspot.com/2024/10/no-over-work-in-coolie-rajini-timeline.html. Only the news that Rakini is starting workfrom October 15^th has taken us by surprise.

Shruti Haasan and Nagarjuna has finished the work in Vizag schedule. The upcoming shoot is in Chennai and Nagarjuna will take part and Shruti might take part if a patchwork is needed.

Aditi Shankar asks Arjun Das – Do you like Mani Ratnam or Shankar ? , He says K Balchander, Do you like Illaiyaraaja or Rahman ? He says Hariss Jayraj. This teaser of Once More has created a buzz. For one Aditi Shankar d/o of iconic Director Shankar seems too have dropped the next girl next door and taken a modern avatar. Secondly the producers are Million Dollar Productions that gave us Good Night and Lovers. Now that most of the Rajini and Kamal titles have been used for new ones, Vijay titles are in vogue. Once More is a 1007 Vijay film and had Sivaji Ganesan in a pivotal role.

As Nayanthara starrer The Test is to have a direct Netflix release, the story that Indian 3 is going to do the same is gaining credibility. YNot the production house had earlier released Dhanush film Jagame Tanthiram on OTT. It had recently backed Bramayugam the Mammootty film in B&W.  Bramayugam was released in SonyLiv after a Kerala theatre release. Test has R Madhvan , Meera Jasmine and Siddharth and is about happenings centered around a Test cricket match.

Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan have worked in one movie – Innai pol Oruvan. Lal said that they had only one scene together on screen and rest was through conversations between the characters. Offscreen, he said that during dubbing , they would get together. Kamal promised Lal a watch as gift and till now he has not received it, he quipped.
