Sun Pictures has confirmed that it is indeed Nelson Dilipkumar who would be directing 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's upcoming flick, under the working title 'Thalaivar 169'.
The production house posted a video where Anirudh and Nelson with their backs against each other in a black blazer and coolers stood, then came the 'Superstar' with his signature coolers-flip, donning a similar attire to that of the composer-director duo. To top it off, Rajinikanth gave a menacing smile.
While the tinseltown was buzzing with this collaboration for a long time, the production house has now confirmed this project.
Rajinikanth's previous film Annaatthe was criticised for its cliched treatment; Nelson, who meticulously avoids cliches, is an interesting addition to the star's film. The director is basking in the success of the Sivakarthikeyan-starrer Doctor and is awaiting the big-ticket Beast's release on April, starring 'Thalapathy' Vijay.
