Not directing Rajinikanth in my next: K.S. Ravikumar

Filmmaker K.S. Ravikumar has denied rumours that his next film will feature superstar Rajinikanth.

"I will soon be starting my next project with Kannada actor Kiccha Sudeep. I'm not doing any new project with Rajini sir," Ravikumar told IANS.

"We started a film, but that had to be shelved after he fell ill. Whatever you are hearing are just rumours and should be treated as the same," he added, setting the record straight.

Ravi and Rajini had collaborated on a Tamil film titled "Rana", which had to be dropped. The two have earlier worked together in Tamil blockbusters "Muthu" and "Padayappa".
