Some on-screen pairings feel like old friends returning. Superstar [Rajinikanth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajinikanth) and Nayanthara are one of them, and the news is now official: they’re back together in **Dharman**.

## The Announcement Fans Were Waiting For

Dharman is an action entertainer directed by Ashwath Marimuthu and co-produced by Kamal Haasan under the RKFI banner. The makers confirmed Nayanthara’s entry with a short, punchy line: “THE AURA IS DOUBLE.” That says it all.

## A Reunion Five Years in the Making

This is the **sixth time** Rajinikanth and Nayanthara share the screen. It began with Chandramukhi, followed by a guest appearance in Sivaji: The Boss and an extended cameo in Kuselan. They teamed up again in Darbar in 2020 and then Annaatthe.

Dharman arrives five years after Annaatthe, and that gap makes the reunion feel special. Few pairings stay fresh across this many films, and fans clearly still love this one.

## What Else Do We Know?

Shooting is reportedly set to wrap by **November 2026**, with the film aiming for a Summer 2027 theatrical release. Anirudh handles the music, so expect a big soundtrack.

Reports suggest Ram Pothineni may play the main antagonist, and that Sreeleela could be part of the film. The makers haven’t confirmed either, so treat both as rumours for now.

## Both Stars Have a Busy Season Ahead

Rajinikanth was last seen in Jailer 2 and is also set to star in KHxRK alongside Kamal Haasan. Nayanthara headlines Mookuthi Amman 2, which is slated for release on **November 6, 2026**. So there’s plenty to watch before Dharman even reaches theatres.
