It is well aware that Rajanikanth and Shriya are playing in a prestigious film Shivaji directed by Shankar and produced by AVM Productions. So far, the details of the story of the film was kept a big secret.

The director is of the opinion that the leakage of the subject would reduce the interest in such a prestigious film and there is no doubt about it. But according to reliable sources, Rajanikanth is playing a dual role in this film as father and son.

Of course it is still a rumour. Moreover, Shankar is in the habit of taking a social stigma in each of his films. But what is the social problem which is being dealt with in this film, still remained a mystery.

But rumours are agog that Sivaji will be a fitting reply to the commercialization of education sector.
