Going South?

sonaWho says Rajinikanth is ready to call it a day? His daughter, Soundarya, who’s preparing to unveil her directorial debut Kochadaiiyaan on May 12, has refuted rumors about her dad’s frail health.

She insists that he’s absolutely fit and all set to work on his next project, a live action movie.

Sonakshi Sinha and Singham 2 actress Anushka Shetty are said to be the contenders for the female leads. The two roles are, a girl-next-door from another era and the other, a trendy miss of today. Sonakshi who loved the script has been given first preference to pick the role of her choice.

A friend of Sonakshi’s confirmed the news saying, “She is trying her best to work out the dates for Rajini sir’s film.” The makers who met her in Mumbai recently, are also trying to rope in Oscar winner A R Rahman to compose the music.
