While there is no official announcement yet, fans are already the 'manifestation' to come true. For those unaware, Rajinikanth and Mani Ratnam worked only once for the 1991 hit film 'Thalapathi’.
The gangster drama also starred Amrish Puri, Mammootty, Arvind Swami, Jaishankar, Srividya, Bhanupriya, Shobana and Geetha.
'Thalapathi' is a contemporary adaptation of the 'Mahabharata', particularly the friendship between Duryodhana and Karna.
