Earlier today, we reported about Kamal Haasan’s production banner Raaj Kamal Films International confirming <\/a>Don <\/a>fame Cibi Chakravarthi<\/a> as the director for its next film starring Rajinikanth. Hours before the news even became official, some netizens started speculating about it, with Cibi’s name thrown into the mix. Some even said Cibi once missed out on a project with Rajinikanth and that the speculated confirmation of his involvement in the upcoming film is a case of life coming full circle for him. A while ago, Cibi himself confirmed that he once talked to Rajinikanth about a project, although it did not come to fruition, and said that this latest development is a result of his constant pursuit of his dream.<\/p>\n

“Once, a small-town boy\u2019s big dream was to meet his favourite star \u201cSUPER STAR\u201d and take a picture with him, which drove his passion towards cinema \u2014 and the big dream happened one day. Then he had the biggest dream of directing his Superstar. He came so close, but got missed,” Cibi wrote. The filmmaker added, “Then he continued to believe it would happen one day \u2014 and today is that day. Thalaivar 173 Day. And I remember Thalaivar saying, ‘Dreams do come true. Miracles do happen.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earlier today, we reported about Kamal Haasan’s production banner Raaj Kamal Films International confirming Don fame Cibi Chakravarthi…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":214705,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[129858,27834,156,409,111,139,69,15916],"class_list":["post-215149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-cibi-chakravarthi","tag-don","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-rajinikanth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/214705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
