According to sources close to the family, it is an idea they have lived closely with for many years. Now that Thalaivar’s new release Kabali has placed him on a pedestal way above anything in the past, plans to film the man’s rise from bus conductor to demi-god are gathering momentum.
Confirming this development, Rajinikanth’s younger daughter Soundarya says, “Yes, we are planning a film on my father’s life. My sister Aishwarya is writing a book on my dad. The film seems to be a natural progression from there.”
Soundarya says the idea of a film has been with the family for a long time — “The thought of making a film on dad has been haunting us of late. His life is inspirational for so many.”
The film will focus on well-known facts from Rajinikanth’s life as well undisclosed aspects of the mega-star’s life. “There are certain areas of his life that no one knows about. We want to put those in the film as well. As a daughter and a devoted fan, I love watching him on screen.. and I’m sure we’d love to see a film on him!”
