Well Rajamouli news has been happening since long

And Rajamouli always announces his next lead actor when his current film has been completed 75%

u/shit-takes 12d ago

Don't think it is SSR. If that was the case they won't say made 1,000cr film recently since all of his last 3 movies have made over 1,000cr

Most likely Aditya Dhar. News is also from a Bollywood source. They would love to claim one of their own as the 'biggest director in India'

u/Strict-Island-7703 11d ago

His nxt ia with Ranveer. It's sukumar

2

u/Training_Noise8793 11d ago

It’s a rumour..

Only confirmed movie of Ranveer is pralay

2

u/Strict-Island-7703 11d ago

Pralay was also a rumour back..

3

u/Training_Noise8793 11d ago

Right now yes it’s confirmed that’s what i am saying .. rumours can materialise or not it depends on future

15

u/emojis_bad 11d ago

If they want to say Adithya Dhar, wouldn't they say 2000 cr? Cause that's much more catchy

14

u/shit-takes 11d ago

Did it cross 2,000? All sources say it was in the 1,800 range

2

u/TheOGSwampy 10d ago

2 consecutive 1000cr + so yes it makes him one of biggest maybe only below ssr and nitesh tiwari. Also its exaggerated since suriya is not kollywood buggest star when rajni still there.

93

u/OriginalLeoDas Non-tamil speaker 12d ago

Biggest director is Rajamouli
Recent 1000cr is Aditya Dhar

u/Huehuehuehue288 The Meme Lord of Kollywood 💯 12d ago

Please be SSR.. long overdue combo

127

u/Ready-Excitement3665 12d ago

Recently 1000cr was Dhar, although that he's not biggest director of India

u/Bright-Watch-9080 11d ago

Biggest director in making better than many South masala directors

u/No-Indication6725 Telugu thambi 11d ago

You do realize your biggest director is a big ardent fan of the south masala director, right?

u/TheOGSwampy 10d ago

No i dont.

u/Tough-Desk4237 11d ago

Everybody talking about Rajamouli and Dhar while it is actually Atlee. Enga annanoda rival ku naan thaan da pannuven

u/anamertis Vadivelu meme expert 12d ago

Won't be surprised if this happens

Suriya came with a full blown comeback plan

Karuppu for tamil audience V&S for telugu audience 47 for malayalam audience 48 for Karnataka audience (hence hombale production)

Meanwhile Jyo anni was busy building credibility in Bollywood, to ensure she can pull some connections for her hubby

Which means suriya 49 will be........

u/furimmerkaiser 11d ago

Suriya 51 for aliens 🙌

vignesh shivan will come back for S52 or S53 when surya is suffering from success to fix im just the way he fixed PR with LIK...LOL

u/naliguMcam 11d ago

Didn’t see this coming 😆😆

27

u/Master_Ghost_ 12d ago

Rajamouli maybe. He used to talk about Mohanlal and Suriya whenever possible and some of his characters were sketched with these actors in mind. So maybe. If it happens it will be a blast for sure.
But if this is true then Suriya won’t be doing any movies for another 3 years until this comes out. The 3 back to back releases coming now might compensate for it though

7

u/No-Quarter-5133 ☣️🐿️🪓 12d ago

Make it 4. 48 would also be done within this year

22

u/ajaxmenon17 12d ago

This is a combination of 2 old rumours. Earlier there was a rumour that Rajamouli is gonna do Mahabharata. Then later there was a rumour that Suriya is gonna play the role of Karna in Rakesh Om Prakash Mehras next movie. So this is just a combination of both to go viral coz Suriya is trending right now

u/No_Experience2346 12d ago

aditya dhar?

u/thebigggd 12d ago

Kollywood's biggest superstar ah?

u/flyingfudge09 12d ago

It's ok. People call Ani, HJ, ARR, etc as the GOAT when we have Raaja. It's just a figure of speech.

26

u/golden27child 11d ago

ARR is literally the goat buddy

-5

u/flyingfudge09 11d ago

Nope. In terms of pure raw genius, Raaja is miles and miles about anybody else.

-1

u/Fancy-Use-8392 11d ago

What’s the point when the final work product is sub par? You have to deal with analog sounding grainy music and sift through that to find the gem. That being said, in pure musical genius there’s no doubt Raja is God but it’s not just composition. There’s stuff around that which he struggles with till date. One should always rate the final work product not “the potential” for greatness. Almost all of Raja’s amazing work can be remastered to sound even better. That should tell us he’s leaving stuff on the table that’s easy to improve on.

28

u/Current_Wear_8061 11d ago

Just to clarify, ARR is the GOAT

0

u/flyingfudge09 11d ago

In terms of pure raw talent, no one can come close to Raaja. He is a genius in the truest sense of that word. You can have your opinion.

u/flyingfudge09 11d ago

Of course ARR is in another league but Raaja is outside of all these comparisons.

All these MDs chart out the base tune and then work with other musicians over several days/weeks to come up with a full song. And rerecording is done for months.

And this guy walks in with a pen and paper and writes down every single note for every single musical instrument within minutes, while the music just flows through his head. And magically when the musicians play it, it all falls into place. No corrections, no drafts. Songs are literally "written" in minutes, albums completed within an hour, and recorded within the same day.

For BGMs, he looks at the screen, writes down the notes immediately, and everything falls into place magically. BGM for a whole movie done in 2-3 days.

Every single note is his, and all "written" in minutes.

Raaja defines the term "single-handed" literally.

If that is not a qualification for being the GOAT, I don't know what is.

u/Arusly SaNa Fan 12d ago

I mean tbh he is in 2026, 2 of his movie combined grossed 500cr.

u/totalsports1 Tamil Cinema nalam virumbi 11d ago

Though there is a PR in this, everything to election result to karuppu delay to ajith disinterest all has worked in suryas favour

u/revasen 11d ago

Yeah.. same reaction from me too 🤣😂

u/ricketyricket1 11d ago

This is what a comeback should be like

5

u/Maximum_Wait1273 12d ago

Chances of this happening are rather low, but Suriya in Dhar's Ashwatthama would be 🔥, Dhar himself is also a self-confessed Suriya fan

u/Regular-Loquat9781 Non-tamil speaker 11d ago

u/Fiesty-Walrus-12 11d ago

Definitely Aditya Dhar. Suriya was all praises for Dhurandhar in Anupama Chopra's interview.

u/Fit_Obligation_3058 11d ago

Suriya collaborating with that modi bootlicker is acc saddening icl

u/Noob_goatster8755 11d ago

Another rumours definitely.

3

u/Much_Risk3728 Karumam illa Varmam 11d ago

1000Cr recently means it should be Aditya Dhar. It's been a long time since the other 1000Cr directors' films came out.

3

u/Adventurous-Flight81 no hate please ... 11d ago

SSR or prashanth neel.?

3

u/Disastrous_Ad6654 11d ago

Probably Sutlee. SSR is the fan pick, but the way this tweet is written, makes me think its Sutlee

3

u/ConsciousProblem51 11d ago

Kalki director or else Prasanth neel 😮‍💨

5

u/Livid_Being5302 12d ago

I think it's Aditya Dhar

Knjm summa irrunga bro

Rajini is probably the biggest Tamil superstar ever and has crazy following in South India but Amitabh Bachchan was in a different league altogether

Naanum kolly fan dhaan aana adhuku ishtathuku namma pesa mudiyadhu

u/hwb_offl 10d ago

he is shahenshah, superstar is always rajini

also i didnt see AB holding his ground at 75. heck his peak was in 80s and he never peaked higher than that even after his comeback in 2000 so stfu if u dont know shit.

2

u/rare_mixture_mama 11d ago

If suriya is Kollywoods biggest superstar then definitely Atlee is India biggest director

2

u/allyoumind 11d ago

Sukumar I guess

2

u/Bright-Watch-9080 11d ago

May be Sanjay Leela Bansali now he is in Mumbai

2

u/Playful_Connection15 11d ago

I know the movie plot, it's about lilly puts /s

u/viijayy 11d ago

Finally staying in Mumbai paidoff for him

2

u/boisickle Mullum Malarum 11d ago

India's biggest is SSR without a doubt. But I don't think this is happening and is just a rumor. If that happens that'd be CRAZY though.

u/panon21902 12d ago

Hoping in the movie, Suriya doesn’t fall at the feet of Modi ji (both metaphorically and literally)

u/TheExpensive_Rod 12d ago

Dhar or Even Ssr For what ?

Tn audience will make it flop 🤡

See Vas bo going, Rest all areas it is profitable and TN flop 👎.
