Working my way around Rajini's image: Subbaraj

Karthik Subbaraj will wield the megaphone for the "country's biggest star" Rajinikanth's film in near future.  In an interview, he makes it clear that the film will be a light-hearted one.

Far from there being any political element in it, the Sun Pictures entertainer will not even have any seriousness of the type seen in 'Kabali' and 'Kaala'.  

How does Karthik intend to show the superstar?  Definitely in a new light without hurting his fans.  "I am aware that changing his onscreen image is unacceptable to his fans.  I know I have got to work my way around his image," the 'Pizza' and 'Jigarthanda' director says.

What about Simran doing the film?  "It's not true.  Vijay Sethupathy is the only other actor finalized so far," the filmmaker reveals.
