When a filmmaker joins hands with star heroes like Superstar Rajinikanth, there will be a lot of pressure on him. The same was revealed by many filmmakers many times. However, now AR Murugadoss has also revealed working experience and the conditions he faced, when he narrated the story to Rajini.
In a media interaction, Murugadoss said that when he narrated Darbar plot, Rajinikanth instantly approved but with a condition. He admitted, “Rajinikanth sir had only one condition: Do not dilute the plot just to please the audience. He wanted it to be as raw and real as possible, so he asked me to make a few changes in the script which I happily did.”
Murugadoss further said, “I was sure I wanted to do an action film with Rajini sir, but I was also sure I’d write something that he had not done before. We decided on bringing him back as a cop after 20 years, and a really dark mean cop. I decided to make it a crime investigation drama with lots of unusual fights and action.”
Touted to be a cop-drama, Rajinikanth will be seen in the role of a police officer. Nayanthara is the female lead in the film. Darbar also stars Nivetha Thomas, Bollywood actor Pratiek Babbar as antagonist and Sacred Games fame actor Jatin Sarna in a brief role. Santosh Sivan is the cinematographer while the music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
