Superstar Rajnikanth has mesmerized us with his magic and swagger both on and off the screen for the last 45 years. He has crossed his 70s but there is not even an ounce of drop in the style and charisma. Rajni still has it in him to make you go crazy whenever he appears on the big screen.
But there are a lot of discussions going on about his rumoured retirement from the films. As we know, Rajnikanth takes good care of his health and goes through regular check-ups. Whilst shooting for ‘Annatthe’ in Hyderbad, Rajni was admitted to hospital due to a health issue but he recovered from it and completed the shooting. He is undergoing medical care abroad right now.
There was a talk that he may put an end to his film career to participate in Tamil Nadu general elections but it did not happen. But Kollywood circles claim that when Rajni bids farewell to films, his last movie will be under the direction of his daughter Soundarya Rajnikanth. The young filmmaker made her directorial debut with ‘Kochadaiyaan’ in 2014. It is an animated action film made on a big budget but failed at the box office.
While the fans hope that it may not arrive soon, there are some people who say that he may bid farewell in the next few years considering his age.

Varanasi Faces IMAX Challenge Ahead of 2027 Release
Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is already being regarded as one of the most anticipated Indian films of 2027. Following the global success of RRR, trade experts expect the film to enjoy a phenomenal overseas run. However, one factor that could influence its international box office performance is the competition for IMAX screens.
Unlike many films that undergo IMAX conversion after production, Varanasi is reportedly being designed and filmed specifically to maximize the IMAX format, promising a premium cinematic experience. However, the release window is shaping up to be highly competitive in international markets. Hollywood blockbusters such as Godzilla x Kong: Supernova, scheduled for March 26, 2027, and Panic Carefully, releasing on April 9, 2027, have already secured IMAX releases. More major studio films are also expected to join the calendar, increasing competition for premium large-format screens.
Since IMAX and other premium screens generate a significant share of revenue for event films, limited screen availability in key overseas markets could slightly impact Varanasi’s earning potential. While the film is unlikely to face issues in securing standard screens, the allocation of IMAX screens during its April 7, 2027 release period will be an important factor that the makers will be closely watching.
The situation is equally interesting in India, where the number of genuine IMAX theatres remains limited. Although several multiplexes promote IMAX auditoriums, only a handful offer the complete IMAX experience. This has led to discussions about whether additional IMAX screens, particularly in major cities like Hyderabad, could be introduced before Varanasi reaches theatres. With the film promising a visually spectacular experience, expanding premium-screen infrastructure could benefit both audiences and exhibitors. How the IMAX landscape evolves over the coming months will be crucial in determining the film’s premium-format reach.
