Rajinikanth is hands down the biggest superstar Tamil cinema has ever produced his longevity and fanbase alone are enough testament to his super-stardom amongst many other things. On the other hand, Prithviraj Sukumaran is a huge star in his own right in Malayalam cinema, with a solid fanbase of his own. So, imagine what would happen if two big stars like Rajinikanth and Prithviraj were to join hands. Well, that's exactly what might transpire and that, too, in no less than the Tamil remak Malayalam movie Bro Daddy.
Prithviraj Sukumaran is neck-deep in promotional activity these days for his upcoming Malayalam movie, Kaduva, which translates to Tiger in English. For the recent leg of promotions, the actor was in Chennai to unveil the Tamil version of his film's trailer, which also stars Vivek Oberoi as the main antagonist. While addressing the media present at Chennai, the star dropped a huge bomb, when he expressed his desire to direct the Tamil remake of Bro Daddy with none other than Thalaivar Rajinikanth in the lead.
Speaking to the Chennai media at the Kaduva press conference, Prithviraj Sukumaran said "Rajinikanth sir is India's biggest superstar and has a cult following. But, people have forgotten Rajinikanth sir's amazing comic timing. We are even aware of Kamal (Kamal Haasan) sir's comic timing. But, we don't speak of Rajini sir's sense of humour. He has fantastic comic timing. When I finished Bro Daddy, I thought if I ever do that film in Tamil, I would cast Rajini sir in Lal sir's character. I'd love to see Rajini sir in a family comedy-drama."
Prithviraj has so far directed two movies, both in Malayalam, and both starring Mohanlal Lucifer, followed by Bro Daddy.
