Rajinikanth’s team has moved quickly to clear the air around Dharman, the superstar’s upcoming film that has already weathered two director exits. A since-deleted social media post had claimed tension between Rajinikanth and director Ashwath Marimuthu, but the actor’s PR camp says the opposite: the set is comfortable, and the shoot is moving fast.
What the team actually said
A member of Rajinikanth’s PR team, writing in Tamil, called the allegation “completely incorrect information”. The update added that Rajinikanth feels “comfortable and happy” working with Ashwath Marimuthu and praised his “dynamic working style”. The statement also said Dharman is “progressing well, rapidly, and excellently”.
The wording matters because Dharman has a small history of behind-the-scenes change. The project, earlier known as Thalaivar173, went through two director changes before Ashwath was announced in June. That makes any fresh rumour about on-set atmosphere instantly louder.
Why fans were ready to believe it
When a film changes directors twice, every new report gets weighed against that history. A now-deleted post on X claimed disagreements were creating discomfort on set. For a fanbase as large as Rajinikanth’s, that kind of claim can spread quickly, even without a named source.
Here is what we know for certain from the film’s announced details:
- Release window: Dharman is slated for January 2027.
- Cast: Simran, Raashii Khanna and Yogi Babu are in key roles.
- First look: Rajinikanth appears in blue scrubs holding a scalpel.
- Before that: Jailer 2 releases on October 15.
The bigger picture for Rajinikanth’s slate
Rajinikanth fans have a packed few months. Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, arrives first on October 15. It brings back Ramya Krishnan, Yogi Babu and Mirnaa, and adds cameos from Mohanlal, Hrithik Roshan, Shiva Rajkumar and Jackie Shroff. The cast also includes Vidya Balan, SJ Suryah, Mithun Chakraborty, Suraj Venjaramoodu, Anna Rajan and Jatin Sarna.
Dharman follows in January 2027. The first look has already done its job: a superstar in blue scrubs with a scalpel is not the usual Rajinikanth image, and that has sparked curiosity. The team’s quick response to rumour suggests they want the conversation to stay on that image and the film itself, not on set gossip.
What to watch now
The practical takeaway for followers is simple: ignore the deleted-post noise and track what is confirmed. Jailer 2 has a date, Dharman has a first look, and the team has publicly described the shoot as smooth. If another rumour surfaces before January, this statement gives a clear baseline.
