Samuthirakani, the Kollywood director of Ravi Teja-Allari Naresh's 'Shambo Shiva Shambo', has been roped in to play an important role in the NTR-Ram Charan movie. The director-actor was recently seen in 'Kaala' as Rajinikanth's friend. He has done a number of movies in Tamil and even won a National Award in 2016 for 'Visaranai' (Tamil). It seems his performance in 'Visaranai' has impressed Rajamouli to give him the supporting role in the prestigious RRR movie.

It's learned that Samuthirakani will share screen space with both Young Tiger and Mega Power Star in this multi-lingual.

The 45-year-old actor is so happy about the gigantic project that he gave Rajamouli a nod without listening to the script. The director narrated the story later. Recently, Samuthikarani said that he would like to gift his novel 'Velpari' (Tamil) to Rajamouli so that the 'Jakkanna' can make a movie out of it.
