Superstar Rajinikanth recently offered a surprise to fans in Mysuru, opting for a modest mode of transport to reach the filming location of his upcoming
project, Dharman. The veteran actor was captured arriving at the outdoor set in an auto rickshaw, a departure from typical celebrity transit that quickly drew attention from onlookers and social media users alike. The filming for the action-oriented feature, helmed by director Ashwath Marimuthu, has been drawing crowds of eager fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the star. Upon his arrival, Rajinikanth was seen waving to the gathered supporters before heading into the production area. In one instance, despite security efforts to manage the crowd, the actor stepped out to acknowledge the fans, including families and children who had been waiting to greet him.
Casting Speculation and Production Updates
While the official cast for Dharman includes Rajinikanth alongside Simran, Raashii Khanna, and Yogi Babu, recent activity on social media has sparked rumours regarding additional talent. Leaked footage and images from the Mysuru set have led to speculation that Telugu actors Ram Pothineni and Sreeleela may be involved in the production. One circulating image, which featured Raashii Khanna alongside Ram Pothineni and Rajinikanth, was reportedly shared and subsequently removed from social media, further fueling discussions about the film's ensemble.As of now, the production team has not issued an official statement confirming the involvement of Ram Pothineni or Sreeleela. The project, which is being produced by Kamal Haasan, was officially titled Dharman earlier this year. The film has already generated significant interest due to its initial promotional materials, which featured a striking first-look poster depicting Rajinikanth in a medical setting with the tagline, The deadly doctor.
The development of the film has seen several changes in leadership, with Ashwath Marimuthu eventually stepping in to direct the project after previous directors were attached to the production. With filming currently underway in Mysuru, the team continues to work on the project, though official details regarding the full cast list and release schedule remain limited to the information provided by the production house and official announcements.
