“I am not doing that film. I am not directing because I am focused on acting right now. I can’t talk more about that project at this point in time," the Dragon star shared. When asked if he had been approached for the magnum opus, the actor-director remained tight-lipped.

Rajinikanth is currently on a spiritual sojourn. His last release Coolie was a moderate box office success and failed to meet the sky high expectations. He will next feature in Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. Kamal Haasan's last was Thug Life, directed by Mani Ratnam. The big budget movie performed miserably at the box office and failed to recover the huge investments made on it.

Pradeep, meanwhile, has two much-hyped releases lined up. His next is Dude, opposite Mamitha Baiju of Premalu fame, and is set to release on October 17. After that, he will feature in LIK (Love Insurance Kompany), directed by Vignesh Shivan. It will hit the big screens on December 18.
