Rajini,Kamal and Dhanush in Ilayaraja biopic. The much-anticipated life story of Tamil music maestro Ilayaraja is in the works, with Dhanush set to portray the role of the legendary composer.
Despite having many seasoned actors in Kollywood, Dhanush's selection has been well-received. Recently, two stalwarts of Tamil cinema, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth, have also joined the project, albeit in guest roles.
Their inclusion is seen as a mark of respect and honor for Ilayaraja, highlighting the close bond shared between the three icons. It's worth noting that Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan volunteered for these roles, underscoring their deep connection with Ilayaraja.
The addition of these big stars is expected to enhance the artistic value of Ilayaraja's biopic, although the film's reach would likely have remained strong even without them. However, the director of the movie has yet to be confirmed. While there have been speculations about Bollywood director Balki and Mari Selvaraj being considered for the role, no official announcement has been made regarding the directorial choice.
