Reason behind Rajinikanth rejecting Padayappa 2

Reason behind Rajinikanth rejecting Padayappa 2. Movie lovers cannot forget the sensational hit Padayappa which starred Rajinikanth, Soundarya and Ramyakrishnan in the lead roles.

For long the talk of the sequel to the blockbuster did rounds but later it was shelved. KS.Ravikumar the director speaking to scribes shared why Padayappa 2 didnot happen. He said , “He told me that the screenplay we had worked on was not enough. If we were to make 'Padayappa 2,' we would have to think much more deeply and develop a stronger screenplay to impress today’s audience.”

KS.Ravikumar speaking to scribes revealed that his proposed story revolved around Neelambari returning as a spirit after her death in the first film. He had envisioned a supernatural storyline that would bring the character back into Padayappa’s world.

Rajinikanth is currently basking under the glory of Jailer 2 success. The film directed by Nelson Dilip Kumar is a sequel to the hit film Jailer.
