Rajini asks for Jagapati Babu

It was already reported that Rajinikanth and Jagapati Babu will be doing a film together, which is being produced by C Aswini Dutt. The film is tentatively titled 'Kucheludu' for Telugu, though it has to be confirmed yet.

Now, we wondered who approached whom for the two heroes to be acting together. So, we are told that it was Rajinikanth who suggested Jagapati Babu’s name.

Incidentally, he is said to have told Jagapati Babu that it would be fun to do the film. The original Malayalam film is an entertainer and Jagapati Babu is happy that he is getting to work with Rajinikanth in a full-length role. Like many heroes today, he too had grown up watching the films of Rajini in Chennai and cannot contain his happiness about getting to share screen space with him.

‘I will play a commercial villain’ -- Jagapathi

So says Jagapati Babu. He is the one hero who has no qualms about doing multi-starrers. He is pretty comfortable as long as he is happy with the story and his role.

Now he says he would any day play a villain, if he gets the right offer. Now, the only condition is that Jagapati Babu likes to play a proper commercial villain and not a subdued negative character.

He says it would be interesting to do an out and out villain, if the right offer comes by. We hope the directors are listening!
