  • Recently, there have been reports wandering around the tinsel town whispering that KV Anand has narrated a script to Rajinikanth,
  •  which the superstar was very impressed with. The Maatraan director has washed away these reports as mere rumours.

  • The director clarified, “I can surely make a film with the Superstar. I’m just afraid that I will fail to impress his fans.” 
  • His Maatraan is in its last leg of the shoot, with just one more song pending. The teaser, which was released recently, has earned Suriya immense appreciation for the efforts he has taken to act as conjoined twins.
