When Rajinikanth rejected Tollywood Movie

When Rajinikanth rejected Tollywood Movie. Rajinikanth Declines Telugu Role, Kannada Superstar Shivraj Kumar Steps In: Ram Pothineni's Next Gets a New Face.

Superstar Rajinikanth, currently busy with "Vettayan" under the direction of Gnanavel and "Coolie" directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is attracting attention from young filmmakers vying for a chance to work with him. While a potential collaboration with Nelson Dileep is being discussed, Rajinikanth has reportedly declined a role in a Telugu film starring Ram Pothineni.

The film, directed by Mahesh Babu P (of "Miss Shetty's Mr. Polishetty" fame) and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, features Ram as a fan of a star hero. The story revolves around the fan's encounter with his idol, creating a compelling narrative that would have seen Rajinikanth in a pivotal role.

However, due to scheduling conflicts, Rajinikanth was unable to accept the offer. The filmmakers have now opted for Kannada superstar Shivraj Kumar to fill the coveted role, adding another layer of intrigue to the project.

The film, set to be made on a grand scale, is in pre-production, and an official announcement regarding the cast is expected soon. The female lead is yet to be finalized.

This news highlights the immense popularity of both Rajinikanth and Shivraj Kumar, and the excitement surrounding Ram Pothineni's upcoming film. With a talented director, a compelling storyline, and a stellar cast, this project is poised to make a significant impact on the Telugu film industry.
