Prakash Raj, the lucky mascot of director Shankar in Anniyan, has been chosen to play the main villain’s role in Sivaji.

Rajinikanth starrer Sivaji to be produced by AVM Productions features Shreya opposite the Super Star.

Now the buzz is that Prakash Raj has been chosen to play the baddie.

Prakash Raj played a police officer who cracks the series of murders in Anniyan.

Now the director has roped him to play the villain in Sivaji too.

Moreover with Prakash Raj holding a good market in Telugu film industry, casting him in Sivaji would help in making the movie a big success in Tollywood.

Prakash Raj had acted with Rajinikanth before in Padaiyappa in which he played a cameo.

K Balachander introduced Prakash Raj, much like Rajini, on screen as a villain.

So KB’s two proteges will have plenty to share between themselves.
