Mani Ratnam and Rajinikanth have collaborated on one of the most popular films of all time in Thalapathi. The film was one of the most influential films of all time and was a huge hit at the box office during its release in 1991.
The film’s plot is based on the friendship between Karna and Duryodhana from the epic tale Mahabharata. After its release, it instantly became a commercial success and has won several awards since then. The film has been remade in several languages over the years given its public appeal and fantastic story.
The Rajinikanth and Mammootty starrer is all set for a re-release this December glorifying its legendary status. Apart from Rajinikanth, the film also stars Amrish Puri, Srividya, Bhanupriya, Shobana, Geetha, and Arvind Swami in supporting roles.
As Superstar Rajni turns 74 next month, this would be a huge gift for fans as the re-released version of the film sets to hit the theatres on December 12th next month. While there is no scope or expectations for the film to be a box office success, fans would love to visit the theatres and watch a young Rajinikanth showcasing one of the most successful roles of his life.
