Superstar Rajinikanth nearing seventy years of age is giving tough competition to all generations of heroes by signing one film after another and working with a lot of enthusiasm. The highest-paid star in Indian cinema just completed his 'Darbar' directed by A.R. Murugadoss and costarring Nayanthara.

Rajini is keen to start filming his next movie which will be his 168th and as reported by us earlier he has ticked a rural story narrated by Siruthai Siva who even gave him a second narration just two days back. Siva after delivering the all-time blockbuster hit 'Viswasam' starring Thala Ajith was planning to do the Thalaivar film but an old commitment with K.E. Gnanavelraja forced him to work on a script for Suriya.

It is said that Siruthai Siva shared to Rajini that he is in a delicate position and can only start 'Thalaivar 168' after the Suriya film. The Superstar then personally called Suriya and reportedly requested him to let go of Siva for just four months and he will complete his film.

Suriya is said to have willingly agreed to postpone the Siruthai Siva film for the sake of Rajini and has decided to do another film with a new team.
