Jagapathi Babu joins the cast of Rajinikanth’s Annaatthe

It looks like the makers of ‘Annaatthe’ are planning to resume shoot. Last day, they announced that Jagapathi Babu has joined the cast. After sharing screen space with Tamil stars like Vijay, Ajith and Vikram, he is now set to act alongside Rajinikanth for the first time. He is popular for playing negative roles in almost all South Indian languages. It remains to be seen if he essays the antagonist role in this film as well.

‘Annaatthe’ directed by Siva is said to be a rural-based mass entertainer. It is expected to be on the lines of Siva’s previous film ‘Viswasam’ with prominence to family emotions. The film has a star-studded cast, which includes four female leads — Keerthy Suresh, Meena, Khushbu and Nayanthara. Prakash Raj, Sathish, Vela Ramamoorthy, Soori, Bala and many others are part of the supporting cast.

‘Annatthe’ has music by Imman, cinematography by Vetri and edits handed by Ruben. Sun Pictures is producing the film, which has been confirmed as a grand Diwali release in November.
