Did You Know? Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe Was Originally Made For Ajith? Fans Say So

Ever since the title and motion poster of ‘Thalaivar’ Rajinikanth’s upcoming 168th film “Annaatthe” were announced, social media and a report in an English daily have suggested that the film was originally written with ‘Thala’ Ajith in mind.

According to fans on Twitter, the “Annaatthe” script was first offered to Ajith even as he was considering signing “Viswasam”. Alith finally chose “Viswasam”, which incidentally means he is also fully aware of the script of “Annaatthe”.

“#Annatthe Script Thala ku theriyum. #Viswasam Ajith Sir’s choice. Annatthe Thalaivar’s choice (Thala knows the script of ‘Annatthe’. ‘Annatthe’ is Rajinikanth’s choice, while ‘Viswasam’ is Ajith’s choice),” a tweet said.

In “Annaatthe”, Rajini teams up for the first time with director Siva who, incidentally, also directed Ajith’s 2019 release, “Viswasam”. On screen, he willbe seen with former on-screen co-stars Meena and Kushboo, besides his ”Darbar” heroine Nayanthara. That apart, Keerthy Suresh will work with Rajinikanth for the first time. A Bollywood biggie is said to be considered for the role of the antagonist.
