Karthik Subbaraj has hit the jackpot. With a minimal(but imnpressive portfolio), he has Superstar Rajinikanth himself acting in his next big venture. We had earlier reported that the director met with the Superstar yesterday in his Poes Garden residence.

Now, the update is that the duo’s meeting lasted over an hour. Rajinikanth who had read the entire script then reportedly went on a discussion with the director. Then it seems like the duo also discussed about the film’s technicians, cast and crew as well. It is also to be noted that Karthik Subbaraj had pitched the project to Rajinikanth three years well before his ‘Kabali’ and the project has finally materialized.

Word is that a prominent actress has been roped in to essay the female lead in the film. Reportedly the team has planned to start rolling after the ongoing producers council strike comes to an end. Watch this space for updates!
