Dhanush
and
Silambarasan,
the
one-time
media
created
rivals,
seem
to
be
coming
together
again.
In
the
recent
months,
there
were
rumours
of
this
duo
teaming
up
for
the
first
time,
and
now
it
appears
like
they
are
joining
hands
in
the
remake
of
Rajinikanth
and
Kamal
Hassan
starrer
hit
film
Ilamai
Oonjal
Aadukirathu.
Grapevine
has
it
that
Dhanush
would
be
doing
the
role
played
by
his
father-in-law
and
superstar
Rajinikanth,
and
Silambarasan
is
stepping
into
the
shoes
of
Kamal
Hassan.
It
is
also
rumoured
that
Shruti
Hassan
will
reprise
the
role
played
by
Sripriya
in
the
original.
However,
nothing
has
been
finalised
yet
and
both
the
actors
have
not
opened
up
on
the
project.
Currently,
they
are
busy
with
their
respective
projects
and
it
is
only
after
the
completion
of
those
films,
they
could
be
taking
up
the
remake
of
Ilamai
Oonjal
Aadukirathu.
Well,
it
is
interesting
to
note
that
till
last
year,
Dhanush
and
Silambarasan
were
not
seen
together
much
at
public
platforms.
But
all
of
a
sudden,
they
bonded
well
in
Dubai
during
SIIMA
awards.
Later,
Simbu
invited
the
'Kolaveri
di...'
hitmaker
for
his
birthday
bash,
thereby
putting
an
end
to
all
the
speculations
related
to
their
rivalry.
Ilamai
Oonjal
Aadukirathu
was
a
romantic
film
directed
by
CV
Sridhar.
The
film
also
starred
Jayachitra
and
had
Ilaiyaraaja's
music.
