Simran Bagga, who hasn’t been making too many appearances on the silver screen, has signed on to star opposite superstar Rajinikanth. The actress is a part of Karthik Subbaraj’s project with the superstar. It was speculated that actress Trisha, Deepika Padukone, or Anjali would be paired with the actor. It is now official!

What’s more, Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui is also a part of the project.

This collaboration is a first for Simran and Rajinikanth, considering she has been paired with various other popular male actors apart from him in the past.

Produced by Sun Network, the superstar will work with director Karthik Subbaraj for his next film hinting that the announcement of his political party will probably not come anytime soon. The cast also includes Vijay Sethupathi, who is collaborating with Subbaraj for the fourth time.

At the peak of her career, Simran rocked as an actress whether it was Vaali or Kanathil Muthamitaal. After her marriage in 2003, the roles significantly dwindled. She made special and guest appearances in a few Tamil films but then again, it’s hard to watch her getting sidelined when she clearly deserves the lead! In Vaaranam Aayiram, she had transitioned towards mother roles and there’s nothing more disappointing considering she wasn’t too old back then. She continued to make guest appearances, even in last year’s Thupparivaalan. However, there’s hope in Dhruva Natchathiram and Seema Raja and we hope makers treat her with well-written roles.
