In a development that has taken the Tamil film industry by surprise, renowned director Sundar C has officially stepped away from the much-anticipated Rajinikanth–Kamal Haasan collaboration — a cinematic event that has been generating massive buzz across Kollywood.
Sundar C had been connected with this project from its early conceptual stages, even while Rajinikanth’s Coolie was still under production. His sudden departure has left fans, trade analysts, and insiders speculating about what might have prompted the unexpected decision.
Taking to social media, the director issued a heartfelt note, apologising to fans and well-wishers:
-
He expressed deep regret for stepping away.
-
He thanked the audience for their continuous encouragement.
-
And notably, he refrained from disclosing the reason behind his exit — adding an air of mystery to the development.
Despite withdrawing from the director’s seat, Sundar C affirmed that his support for the film and its core team remains unwavering. He stated that he will continue to cheer for the project from the sidelines, making it clear that his goodwill and respect for the collaboration are intact.
This unexpected twist has sparked fresh conversations in the Tamil film circuit. With two of Indian cinema’s biggest icons — Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan — involved, the industry is now eager to see who will take over directorial responsibilities and how the project will move forward from here.
As discussions intensify and anticipation grows, one thing is certain: this magnum opus remains one of the most closely watched films in Indian cinema.
