Mari Selvaraj is one of the Tamil directors who did not see any failures yet. Currently he is working with Vikram’s son Dhruv Vikram on a project called Bison. There were also reports that this talented filmmaker will work with none other than superstar Rajinikanth, but the latest reports suggest that Rajinikanth said no to Mari Selvaraj.
The news from Tamil media is that Mari Selvaraj was planning to do a film with Rajinikanth for a long time, and recently he met the superstar and narrated a story, but Rajini is said to be not interested in doing a film with the director. So, it is almost certain that Rajinikanth said no to Mari Selvaraj.
The main reason for this might be that Mari Selvaraj projects always deal with social issues, mainly fighting for the lower caste people who revolt against the upper caste. Rajinikanth previously did similar kinds of movies Kabali and Kaala with Pa Ranjith. Kabali managed to get good numbers with pre-release hype, but Kaala failed to impress and did not put up even decent numbers at the box office.
The audiences expect more than a story from Rajinikanth. They want mass elevations, entertainment, and stylish episodes, which help the movie to do big numbers. Rajini’s recent release, Vettaiyan, also missed the above-mentioned elements, which resulted in an average result at the box office. So, maybe with all these reasons and issues, Rajinikanth is interested in working on commercial projects only.
