Is a legendary reunion brewing between Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam after 1991’s iconic Thalapathi? While fans remain hopeful, the Thug Life director recently addressed the buzz in an interview with News18. “You should ask Rajini sir… we never know,” he said, hinting that nothing is off the table post-Thug Life, though he’s currently considering a break with four unfinished scripts on the horizon.
Their last collaboration, Thalapathi, based on the Mahabharata, remains a cinematic classic featuring Mammootty and Arvind Swamy. Ratnam is now gearing up for Thug Life, a gritty gangster drama starring Kamal Haasan, STR, and Trisha. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is set to return to the big screen with Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, releasing August 14, 2025.
