Bigg Boss fame Kavin who is currently busy signing movies, reacted to the recent rumour that surfaced saying Nelson got rejected by Superstar Rajinikanth due to “Beast”. Kavin uploaded the screenshot of Nelson’s Twitter bio in which he added “Thalaivar 169” as one of his works with Rajinikanth’s “Petta” BGM playing in the background in a way of confirming that the filmmaker is going to direct Rajinikanth in his next.

It has been recently announced that Nelson Dileepkumar who debuted through “Kolamaavu Kokila” to Tamil film industry, is going to direct Super star Rajinikanth in his next film which is tentatively titled as “Thalaivar 169”. Anirudh has been roped in to compose music for the film with Sun pictures producing Super star again after “Annatthe”. The promo video showed Superstar Rajinikanth sitting in a chair with his very own swag by having Nelson and Anirudh standing aside.

The growth of Nelson Dileepkumar after directing just three released films is being admired by the fans. He who got committed to direct Vijay’s “Beast” before the release of “Doctor”, got committed to direct “Thalaivar 169” before the release of “Beast”.

On Tuesday, a strong buzz did rounds in social media platforms saying that Superstar Rajinikanth replaced Nelson Dilipkumar from his upcoming film after watching the special screening of “Beast” in Sun TV office. However, after Nelson brushed off the baseless rumour by adding “Thalaivar 169” in his bio along with “Kolamaavu Kokila”, “Doctor” and “Beast”.

The main reason behind the buzz is the reviews “Beast” is receiving from the audience and critics. The film which didn’t exceed the anticipation level of fans, failed to engage them with a tight screenplay, being a hostage thriller. However, the film’s collection surpassed 200 crores, says reports and the filmmaker is all set to direct Rajinikanth in his next.

Now, actor Kavin who worked as an assistant director in “Doctor”, “Beast”, in a way of brushing off the rumours, added a post in his Instagram story section, showing the Twitter bio of Nelson in which he added “Thalaivar 169” as his upcoming project. Kavin added “Petta” theme in his background.
