Atlee has a script ready for Rajinikanth. That’s the headline, and it’s not a tease. The director confirmed it in a quiet interview, just as Raaka — his sci-fi epic with Allu Arjun, inches toward release. No official greenlight yet.
No title. No date. But the idea is there. And so is the weight of expectation.
Atlee doesn’t rush. He said he’ll take two months off after Raaka, “like how Thalaivar goes to the Himalayas.” A nod to Rajinikanth’s own ritualistic retreats. Coincidence? Probably not.
The timing feels deliberate. The man who gave Shah Rukh Khan Jawan now has a story simmering for the next king of Tamil cinema. It’s not even about the next film. It’s about what comes after Dharman.
Rajinikanth’s Pongal 2027 project directed by Ashwath Marimuthu. If that lands, and if Atlee’s script still holds, fans might get a double treat: one blockbuster from the South’s most consistent team, another from its most ambitious director. But here’s the catch: no confirmation. No contract.
Just a whisper in a press room. And Raaka? Still untethered. Even the producer hasn’t asked when it drops.
So while SunTV gears up for back-to-back Jailer 2 updates, song, trailer, album. Atlee’s next move remains in the air. One thing’s certain: if this happens, it won’t be a template mass film. It’ll be a statement.
And it’ll come after silence.

Rajinikanth's upcoming film Dharman is nearing completion, with production set to resume in November 2026 for its final schedule. The film, previously known as Thalaivar173, aims for a Pongal 2027 release and features Simran Bagga, Yogi Babu, and Raashii Khanna in key roles.
Atlee confirms no immediate plans for a film with Rajinikanth, citing his meticulous process and the ongoing development of Raaka, a large-scale project with Allu Arjun that may take another year to complete.
Meghana Raj shared behind-the-scenes photos from Jailer 2, revealing her first-ever collaboration with Shivarajkumar as the film crosses ₹500 crore worldwide and carries personal significance tied to her late husband's October birthday.
Jailer 2 has collected an estimated ₹570 crore worldwide in its opening week, beating Leo's record by ₹100 crore, with Tamil Nadu, Telugu states and overseas all posting record numbers for a Tamil release.
