Sensational filmmaker Mani Ratnam recently came up with an exciting film Ponniyin Selvan. The film is still in theatres. It has been performing very well in Tamil and is doing good in the overseas too. Meanwhile, Superstar Rajinikanth expressed his wish to be a part of the film but Mani Ratnam denied the request of Superstar.

 

Mani Ratnam had explained why he rejected the request of Rajinikanth. "I will have to be honest to the story. It's true that he had asked me if he can play a role in the film. He is such a huge star and this has got so many characters. It has to be honest to the story. So I can't bring in a huge superstar in between this and so I told him that I will be taking a rain check with him." revealed Mani Ratnam.

 

We have to see if Rajini might be a part of the second part of the film.
