Keerthy
Suresh
was
recently
roped
in
to
star
in
Rajinikanth's
film
with
'Siruthai'
Siva,
being
referred
to
as
'Thalaivar
168',
and
this
created
a
great
deal
of
buzz
among
fans.
Now,
she
is
in
the
limelight
for
a
surprising
reason.
According
to
reports,
the
Saamy
2
actress
opted
out
of
Mani
Ratnam's
Ponniyin
Selvan
to
take
up
Superstar's
flick.
The
buzz
is
she
tried
to
allocate
dates
to
both
movies
but
things
just
did
not
work
out.
Ponniyin
Selvan,
one
of
the
biggest
Kollywood
projects
of
2020,
is
based
on
writer
Kalki
Krishnamurthy's
Tamil
novel
of
the
same
name
and
revolves
around
the
life
of
Chola
Emperor
Rajaraja
I.
It
features
Karthi,
Jayam
Ravi,
Vikram
and
Enthiran
actress
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
in
the
lead.
Bollywood
legend
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Ashwin
Kakumanu
too
are
a
part
of
the
magnum
opus.
Many
feel,
the
biggie
could
have
helped
the
reel
Savitri
scale
new
heights.
On
the
other
hand,
Thalaivar
168
is
touted
to
be
a
rural
drama
and
will
most
probably
feature
plenty
of
mass
elements.
Actresses
Khushboo
and
Meena
too
are
a
part
of
the
cast.
While
talking
about
teaming
with
her
Pandian
co-star
after
a
long
time,
the
star-turned-politician
had
recently
thanked
Sun
Pictures
for
giving
her
the
opportunity.
"I
am
happy
to
share
screen
space
with
Rajini
sir
after
28
years.
We
have
done
several
films
in
the
past
and
our
pairing
was
loved
by
the
audience.
I
had
stayed
away
from
Tamil
films
for
about
8
or
9
years
since
I
wanted
to
do
a
good
film.
I
didn't
want
to
be
one
in
the
crowd.
That's
when
Siruthai
Siva
and
Sun
Pictures
approached
me.
It's
a
different
character.
Very
rarely
people
get
such
opportunities.
I
hope
the
audience
like
it,"
(sic)
she
had
said.
Meena
too
had
expressed
happiness
about
being
associated
with
the
movie.
Coming
back
to
Keerthy,
she
currently
has
the
Telugu
movie
Miss
India
in
her
kitty.
The
young
lady
will
also
be
making
her
Bollywood
debut
with
Maidaan,
which
has
noted
actor
Ajay
Devgn
in
the
lead.
