Speculation is rife that Rajinikanth will team up with director Lokesh Kanagaraj next, for a Tamil project, which will be bankrolled by Kamal Haasan. The film is expected to be officially launched in April.

Rajinikanth was last seen playing an angry cop out to avenge his daughter’s death in Darbar, which was directed by AR Murugadoss. The film featured Prateik Babbar, Nivetha Thomas and Yogi Babu in crucial roles. While Anirudh Ravichander had composed the music, Santosh Sivan cranked the camera.

The 70-year-old veteran actor recently featured on Discovery Channel’s show Into the Wild with British adventurer Bear Grylls.
