South Indian cinema’s biggest icon, Rajinikanth, has ruled the big screen for more than five decades. With a career spanning over 150 films and an unmatched fan following across the globe, Thalaiva continues to command attention even today. While the actor has not officially announced retirement, fresh reports suggest that preparations for his final film may already be underway.
At present, Rajinikanth is busy with Jailer 2, the sequel to his blockbuster Jailer. However, alongside this, buzz has started building around what could potentially be the last film of his legendary career.
Daughter Soundarya to Produce Rajinikanth’s Last Film?
According to reports from the Tamil industry tracker Valai Pechu, Rajinikanth is planning to collaborate with his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth for his farewell project. It is being said that Soundarya may take on the responsibility of producing her father’s final film, making it a deeply emotional and personal milestone for the family.
Although Rajinikanth has not yet decided which project will officially mark his last on-screen appearance, insiders claim that he wants his farewell film to be truly special and memorable. This is why early groundwork has reportedly begun, even as he continues to remain active in mainstream cinema.
Rajinikanth’s Upcoming Films
On the work front, Rajinikanth will next be seen in Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilip Kumar. The film boasts a powerful ensemble cast, including Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, and Vidya Balan.
Apart from this, Rajinikanth is also gearing up for a massive project with Kamal Haasan, tentatively titled Thalaivar 174 x KH238. This film will mark the reunion of the two legends after nearly 40 years, making it one of the most anticipated collaborations in Indian cinema.
No Retirement Yet, But Fans Are Emotional
While Rajinikanth has clearly stated in the past that he has no immediate plans to retire, the idea of a final film produced by his daughter has already stirred emotions among fans. Whether or not this turns out to be his last bow, one thing is certain—Thalaiva’s legacy will continue to inspire generations of cinema lovers.
