Director Shankar, who last made Indian 2, is awaiting the release of Game Changer starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani in the lead role. The director, who is known for his commercial films, was recently asked in one of the interviews if he would do a biopic.

Candidly speaking, Shankar said that so far, he has not gotten an idea to do a biopic so far. However, he added that if he ever makes one, it would be a biopic on Rajinikanth. "There are no words to describe him, and I just got the spark. Let's see,” the veteran filmmaker said.

Shankar also added that his next two projects would be Indian 3 featuring Kamal Haasan, and author Su Venkatesan’s historical Tamil novel Veera Yuga Nayagan Velpari which will be made as a three-part project.

Director Shankar and Rajinikanth’s films on OTT

Director Shankar has worked with Rajinikanth in three films, Sivaji: The Boss (on Aha), Enthiran (on SunNXT), and its sequel 2.0 (on Prime Video). All three films were commercial blockbusters at the time of their release and went on to become the highest-grosser of that year. While Sivaji is a commercial potboiler, Enthiran and 2.0 are sci-fi action dramas.

Meanwhile, Shankar’s Game Changer is a political action thriller starring Ram Charan, Kiara Advani, SJ Suryah, Anjali, Samuthirakani, and others. The film is a Telugu-Hindi project and is set to hit big screens on January 10.
