Did Rajinikanth and Kamal escape big disaster?

Nov 10, 2026 3:12PM

When Rajinikanth announced his next film under Kamal Haasan's production, with Sundar C at the helm, the combination created considerable excitement. However, Sundar C's sudden exit from the project changed the equation, and the superstar eventually joined hands with young filmmaker Ashwath Marimuthu, for Dharman. Now, the developments surrounding Sundar's latest film have triggered discussions about whether Rajini and Kamal made the right call.

Sundar C's Mookuthi Amman 2, starring Nayanthara, has turned into a major disappointment and is facing severe trolling on social media. Several viewers have criticised its visual treatment and are even calling it a cheap copy of Marvel films. The film's reception has brought renewed attention to Sundar C's proposed collaboration with Rajinikanth.

Many moviegoers are now suggesting that Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan might have escaped a difficult situation by moving away from the Sundar C project. Their decision to bring in a younger filmmaker like Ashwath Marimuthu is being viewed as a potentially smart move, especially considering the fresh approach he could bring to the superstar's film.

Unlike a conventional big-budget production that takes considerable time to progress, Ashwath has reportedly planned the shoot at a brisk pace. The director is keen on completing the film in a remarkably short time, and the production has already completed four schedules.

The team has currently taken a short break for Deepavali and Anirudh Ravichander's wedding with Kavya Maran. Shooting is expected to resume after the festive break, with the makers looking to maintain the fast-paced production schedule. Ram Pothineni, Simran, Sreeleela, Raashii Khanna and Nayanthara are cast in this film. 

While Sundar's latest outing has intensified the debate, it remains to be seen whether Ashwath Marimuthu can deliver the kind of cinematic experience expected from Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan's ambitious collaboration. For now, the change of director appears to have worked in their favour.
