In a recent interaction with a daily, the 2.0 director has revealed that he has lost story ideas now for someone like Rajinikanth and Kamal's stature. The director has also collaborated with Kamal in the film Indian 2 which has now been stuck for a long time due to the pandemic situation as well as some accidents on the sets. The Enthiran director added that he has found working with the two big stalwarts of the industry like Rajinikanth and Kamal extremely overwhelming over the years.

But the filmmaker hinted towards a change in his casting for his future projects. He may now collaborate with the likes of Vijay and Ajith for his upcoming films. The decision of the Sivaji director does not come as a surprise considering that Vijay and Ajith are one of the most bankable stars in the industry currently.
