The announcement had set Twitter on fire with jubilant fans of Rajinikanth and Kollywood celebrities posting congratulatory messages.
Director AR Murugadoss, who is currently directing Rajinikanth's Darbar retweeted the Sun Pictures' announcement with a message, “All the best Thalaiva”. Rajinikanth is now wrapping up the shooting of Darbar which is slated for Pongal 2020 release. Darbar has Nayanthara, Yogi Babu and Pratheik Babbar playing key roles with Anirudh Ravichander as a composer.

His latest film Viswasam released along with Rajinikanth's previous movie Petta in during Pongal this year. Viswasam which was produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, gave fierce competition to Rajini's Petta and also crossed the ₹100 crore box office collection.
