Keerthy Suresh not playing Rajini’s heroine

When the makers of Super Star Rajinikanth’s 168th film roped in the happening young beauty Keerthy Suresh, fans and industrywallahs were in for a minor shock. Many wondered how Rajini would romance an actress who is much younger than him.

But here’s the latest update. Apparently, Keerthy will not be playing Rajini’s love interest, but instead she will be seen as his sister in the movie. On the other hand, this as-yet-untitled action family entertainer also has senior actresses Meena and Khusboo in prominent roles.

Siva, who had directed Ajith’s Pongal blockbuster, Viswasam, is directing the film and the shoot is currently underway in Hyderabad. Sun Pictures is bankrolling this much-awaited film.
