Before the excitement of Sivaji and its success could ebb down, announcement about Super Star Rajnikanth's forthcoming projects and the twin bonanza has generated a lot of frenzy among his fans and well wishers across the globe. Though the time taken to complete his grandiose venture Robot with Shankar could be a little longer,   
 
Rajnikanth has ensured to sustain the exhilaration among his fans by featuring in a film to be produced by Kavithalaya and directed by P Vasu.

This film titled Kuselan is based on a Malayalam film Katha Parayumbol which featured Mammooty and Sreenivasan in the lead roles. The Malayalam version dealt deeply the friendship and relationship between a barber and a popular film star. In Kuselan, Rajnikanth will be playing the role of Mammooty and Pasupathy will take on Sreenivasan's character. Inside sources reveal that the name Kuselan is chosen from Hindu mythology where he happens to be Lord Krishna's childhood friend and the latter comes to his rescue when he is in a very bad state of poverty. Looks like the Super Star's Kuselan also will highlight the significance of true friendship. An apt title indeed.
