Rajinikanth's Ranjith film title is 'Kannabiran'?
Earlier, there were reports that Rajini’s new film with Ranjith has been titled as Kaali. But the superstitious Kollywood industry has informs us that films whith titles of Gods like like Kaali and Narasimha are jinxed and has proved unlucky.
It is said that the first fire accident in Tamil cinema had happened during Rajinikanth’s 1980 film, Kaali while even before the release, the director of Vijayakanth’s Narasimha had died in a car accident.
After hearing these factors, Rajinikanth is said to have asked Ranjith to think of alternative titles for the film and one among them is said to be, Kannabiran.
Apparently, the title ‘Kannabiran’ belongs to director Ameer and it is his dream film which deals about the life of a gangster. In various interviews, Ameer has said he wants to make Kannabiran with Vijay and even met the actor regarding the same.
It is rather interesting to note that Rajini is also said to be playing a gangster in Ranjith’s movie!
