Sarath in 'Jaggubhai'?

No one would have forgotten the fanfare and the hype that surrounded the announcement of superstar Rajinikanth starrer ‘Jaggubhai’, under the direction of K.S. Ravikumar, a few years ago. The magical combo of ‘Padayappa’ (Superstar and K.S. Ravikumar) created much expectation after the forgettable experience with ‘Baba’.

However, the project was dropped for reasons unknown to the public. Rajini then went on to team up with P. Vasu for ‘Chandramukhi’, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now the buzz is that ‘Jaggubhai’ resurfaces with a different name in the lead. According to a grapevine, K.S. Ravikumar is all set to restart the process of making ‘Jaggubhai’ and he has opted for ‘supreme star’ instead of super star. It is tipped that Sarath Kumar would play the lead role.

One of the reasons sited for Rajini’s withdrawal from the project was its political overtone. The superstar was apparently not comfortable with a film that has strong political message. For Sarath, who has become a political leader with aspirations to capture the power, the political movie would be an ideal and natural choice.

Since Sarath – K.S. Ravikumar combo too is a successful one, the project, if takes off, would create sensation.

However, the circle close to Sarath denies the news on ‘Jaggubhai’. While the sources confirm a new project of Sarath with K.S. Ravikumar, they say that it is not ‘Jaggubhai’.

Whether the new project would be a political subject is yet to be known.
