CM KCR To Launch Breakfast Scheme For School Kids On Dasara

After the massive success of the MS Dhoni biopic at the Bollywood box office, the Indian film industry witnessed a sudden surge in interest around biographical films. Filmmakers began approaching several cricketers and iconic personalities to bring their life stories to the big screen. This trend gained further momentum with Telugu cinema’s Mahanati, the biopic of legendary actress Savitri, which turned out to be a huge commercial and critical success. Following that, biopics on film stars became a hot topic across industries.

Though the biopic on legendary actor and politician NTR, Kathanayakudu, did not meet expectations at the box office, the curiosity around biopics of larger-than-life superstars hasn’t faded. Once again, the discussion has resurfaced after Tamil Superstar Rajinikanth’s daughter, Aishwarya Rajinikanth, spoke about her father’s biopic in a recent interview. She expressed that her father’s inspiring journey — from humble beginnings to becoming one of the biggest superstars in Indian cinema — deserves to be told to the world.

Naturally, this reignites the long-standing question: who could portray Rajinikanth on screen? Among film lovers, the most popular choice continues to be Tamil superstar Dhanush. Many believe that his acting range, screen presence, and familiarity with Rajinikanth’s mannerisms make him the most suitable actor for the role. Interestingly, Dhanush also happens to be Aishwarya’s former husband, as the couple parted ways a few years ago. This has led to speculation about whether the two would ever reunite professionally for such a prestigious project.

For now, these discussions remain purely speculative, with no official confirmation or concrete plans in place. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth remains busy with his current commitments, including Jailer 2 and another high-profile project that will reportedly be jointly produced with Kamal Haasan and feature both superstars together. Until any official announcement is made, the idea of a Rajinikanth biopic — and Dhanush playing Thalaivar — continues to remain an exciting thought among cinema fans.
