Conspiracy Theories on Rajini-Dhanush-Ranjith film vs the reality

Ever since Dhanush announced the next film under his Wunderbar Films banner with the ‘Kabali’ duo Rajini and Ranjith it not only became the biggest trending news, but also triggered many a conspiracy theory on how this dream project came into being most of which are ridiculous to say the least.

Theory 1 : Dhanush is seeing a popular actress about which Aishwarya complained to her dad and he came up with the idea of acting under his son-in-law’s banner in order to put a wedge in that relationship (LOL).

Theory 2 : Superstar Rajinikanth gave his call sheet to Dhanush and also insisted that the rumored actress be cast as his pair so that he could have an eye on both.(ROFL)

Theory 3 : Dhanush is in a financial slump and unable to raise funds for the ‘Vada Chennai’ trilogy.(NOTE: ‘Ethirneechal’, ‘VIP’, ‘Kaaki Sattai’, ‘Naanum Rowdy Dhaan’, ‘Kaaka Muttai’ and ‘Visaranai’ are all blockbusters). Superstar Rajinikanth to " help" his son-in-law out gave him his call sheet.(LOL)

Theory 4 : Rajini’s family noticed that Kalaipuli S Thanu earned crores of rupees by producing ‘Kabali’ and they decided to keep the next one in the family (As if this is the first time the Superstar film is a blockbuster and raining cash). (GRRR.)

These theorists who mainly populate the online media are forgetting that Dhanush is as good a producer as he is a terrific actor. His very first film ‘3’ earned critical praise as well as an average run. He redefined commercial cinema with his youth targeted ‘VIP" which has become a cult classic. His hawk-eyes first noticed the mass hero in Sivakarthikeyan and booked him for two films and the rest is history. An unknown Anirudh became the show-stopper he is after his string of collaborations with Dhanush. The brilliant actor Vijay Sethupathi with so many great performances behind him struggled to cross over the thin line to become a superhit film hero. Enter Dhanush and ‘NRD’ catapulted him to the big league and there is no turning back for him as even his below average ‘Dharma Durai’ has become a hit. And just to add a minor point (sarcasm intended), Dhanush as a producer is an integral part of two films that took Tamil cinema to the world stage, ‘Kaaka Muttai’ and ‘Visaranai’.

'Kabali' is a monster hit that Rajini and Ranjith can only be proud of with a nagging reluctance as it surely did not bring out the best in both of them. Here is another opportunity for the one and only Superstar and the maverick director to deliver the film that they promised to the masses who are waiting for the best. This time they have a worthy ally in Dhanush who has proven he knows the value of art in perfect sync with the essentials of commerce. Rettippu Magizchi!
