Raghava has taken the herculean task of reprising Rajinikanth’s evergreen roles. Moondru Mugam is among the most popular cult classics in Tamil movies that came out during the 1980s. Among Rajinikanth’s three different roles, his police character called Alex Pandian in the film is so beloved by Tamil film audiences that even today a mere reference to to this character will send fans into a tizzy.

After finalising the script, Raghava will zero in on a director to helm the film. Raghava, meanwhile, is awaiting the release of Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva.

It is worth mentioning that Thala Ajith starred in 2007 gangster film Billa, a remake of Rajinikanth’s 1980 blockbuster movie of the same name The success of the film redefined his stardom in the industry, which was on a shaky ground at the time.
