More than a year after the debacle of Baba, Rajnikanth has decided to do Ayya, which will be directed by Hari, the current flavour of ‘masala’ movies.
    News filtering out from sources close to Rajnikanth say that the shooting would start after Hari completes Arul with Vikram. Ayya will be Rajni’s Diwali 2004 release.

  
      Hari’s strength always lies in his strong storyline and the way he packages it with commercial ingredients. His last two films Tamizh and Saamy were hits, and now with Kovil starring Silambarasan and Sonia Agarwal, he hopes to strike a hat trick at the box-office.

      At the Saamy 125th day celebrations Rajnikanth had praised Hari to the skies and said in his speech that this young director is good at making racy and entertaining films to suit the taste of the common man. He even said that the placement of songs, fights and punchline dialogues were inserted into the story of his films in the right manner.
       Rajni wanted Hari to start Ayya in November so that it can be released for April 5th 2004 which he feels is his lucky date (Padayappa was released in 1999 on the same date). But Hari was clear that it was not possible and his priorities right now are with Arul.
