Director AR Murugadoss' film starring
Rajinikanth and Nayanthara in the lead, which has been titled 'Darbar' is progressing a brisk pace. With the team shooting in Mumbai, actress Nayanthara joined the sets recently and pictures from the shooting spot have been doing rounds on the internet. It is known that Bollywood actor Prateik Babbar plays the role of a villain in the film.
Interestingly, the latest is that Malayalam actor Chemban Vindo Jose has reportedly joined the cast to play another villain.
Jose made his Tamil debut in 'Goli Soda 2' directed by Vijay Milton in which also he played a terror-striking villain. Meanwhile, superstar Rajinikanth will be seen donning the cop avatar after a gap of 25 years. The film also stars Yogi Babu, Nivetha Thomas and others amongst others.
Darbar is Rajinikanth’s 167th film and is slated to release around Pongal next year. The makers of the film had earlier released the first look poster of the film which features Rajinikanth against the backdrop of guns, uniform, other police related things. The film bankrolled by Lyca Productions has become the talking point now. While Santosh Sivan will handle the cinematography for the film, Anirudh Ravichander will be composing the music.
