Rajinikanth is called by his fans and the film fraternity as the superstar of South. His stardom isn't limited to Tamil Nadu and the actor's recent film "Kabali" has once again proved this by beating the opening records at national level. But, it is heard that director Shankar still believes he needs a bigger star than Rajini to make his film work in the Telugu states.
Reports are emerging that Shankar is mulling over to rope in one of the star heroes of Tollywood to play a cameo in his upcoming high budget visual extravaganza '2.0'. The film has Rajinikanth reprising his role from the swashbuckling hit film 'Robot', which shattered the box office records of top Tollywood heroes' films a few years earlier.
Although Rajini's subsequent films failed at box office, it was largely because of the unimpressive content and high business involved. Despite all these, Shankar reportedly wants a big Tollywood hero to play a cameo in '2.0' to attract the Telugu audiences.
Mahesh babu and Prabhas are the two names that Shankar has in mind, say reports. Well, being a down-to-earth personality, Rajini wouldn't mind this but would his fans encourage Shankar's tactics?
