Superstar Rajinikanth and producer Sajid Nandiadwala have reportedly teamed up for the Superstar's biopic. People have always been inspired by the tale of Shivaji Rao Gaekwad's transformation into Rajinikanth, and now they can finally witness that journey on the silver screen soon. As per reports, the scripting of the film has already begun. 

Rajinikanth’s biopic in the works?

As per Bollywood Hungama, Sajid Nandiadwala has signed a deal with Rajinikanth to acquire the rights to his biopic. A source told the portal that Sajid, a huge fan of Rajinikanth, is personally examining the script. Additionally, the speculations imply that the film will revolve around Rajinikanth as a human rather than a superstar. According to reports, the movie will also tell his rags-to-riches story.

The insider revealed, “Very few know that Sajid Nadiadwala is a big fan of not just Rajinikanth the actor, but also Rajinikanth the person. He believes that Rajinikanth’s story deserves to be seen by the world – from a bus conductor to a superstar. Sajid is personally looking into the script and working towards getting the film to the spectacle.” While the movie's script is currently a ‘work in progress’, Rajinikanth and Sajid Nadiadwala haven't officially acknowledged the development. The biopic is expected to go on the floor in 2025.
