Speculations rise over the sudden reason behind the director’s withdrawal

Fan expectations were at an all time high with Sundar C’s reunion with Rajinikanth after the ‘Arunachalam’. But the development of sudden exit has sparked debate among his fans.

Rumours suggest creative differences or project reshuffle under Kamal’s banner
