has Rajinikanth's camp completely flummoxed and angry. And Rajinikanth's associates tell us the mega-star is not amused.

What is more, when this writer questioned the

director Reema Kagti about the rumours that the iconic Rajinikanth is turning into an item boy for Aamir, Reema completely denied the rumour. "Not true," the beleaguered director responded.

Says a source, "So then where did this preposterous rumour start? At the moment Rajiniji is completely involved with every department of his new film

. He is not even looking at doing any other work. He spends all his time with the post-production team. He is helping his daughter (Soundarya) with the editing, mixing, background score. Most of all, Rajiniji wants to make sure that the special effects for the action sequences come out perfectly. For that he insists on flying out with the technical team to London each time they need to work on the effects."
