Earlier
this
year,
Rajinikanth
gave
strong
proof
of
his
star
power
when
Petta
opened
to
a
thunderous
response
at
the
box
office
and
received
decent
reviews
from
fans.
The
film,
directed
by
Karthik
Subbaraj,
featured
the
'Superstar'
in
a
massy
new
avatar
that
he
did
full
justice
to.
Unfortunately,
Petta
failed
to
compete
with
Ajith
Kumar's
Viswasam
in
the
long
run
and
this
left
Rajini
fans
heartbroken.
With
the
Pongal
battle
in
the
past,
Rajinikanth
is
currently
shooting
for
Darbar,
which
is
being
directed
by
popular
director
AR
Murugadoss.
Darbar
Shoot
Stalled?
A
few
days
ago,
it
was
reported
that
Rajinikanth
had
stopped
shooting
for
Darbar
and
returned
to
Chennai,
which
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
amongst
movie
buffs.
Some
reports
also
stated
that
the
Enthiran
star
was
upset
with
Lyca
over
some
financial
issues
and
this
added
to
the
confusion.
A
Clarification
However,
according
to
Valai
Pechu,
the
rumours
are
baseless.
Sources
from
Lyca
reportedly
told
the
YouTube
channel
that
Rajinikanth
returned
to
Chennai
for
some
personal
work
and
added
that
the
Mumbai
schedule
of
Darbar
has
been
wrapped
up.
The
source
also
confirmed
that
things
are
going
as
planned
and
Darbar
will
hit
screens
during
Pongal
2020.
About
Darbar
Darbar
is
touted
to
be
a
commercial
entertainer
that
revolves
around
the
exploits
of
a
cop.
The
film
stars
Nayanthara
as
the
female
lead
and
marks
her
second
full-fledged
collaboration
with
her
Chandramukhi
co-star.
The
buzz
is
that
Rajini's
scenes
with
the
'Lady
Superstar' are
going
to
be
the
highlight
of
Darbar.
Bollywood
actors
Prateik
Babbar
and
Ravi
Kishan
too
are
a
part
of
the
cast.
The
Way
Ahead
The
general
feeling
is
that
Rajinikanth
will
be
doing
a
few
more
movies
before
focusing
on
his
political
career.
The
buzz
is
that
he
will
soon
be
teaming
up
with
'Siruthai'
Siva
for
a
mass
movie.
He
might
also
collaborate
with
'Mappillai'
Dhanush
for
a
multi-starrer
but
this
has
not
been
confirmed
yet.
