Dharman: Rajinikanth’s Next Blockbuster Isn’t Based On The Good Doctor – Here’s What Director Ashwath Marimuthu Actually Says

Director Ashwath Marimuthu has set the record straight, shutting down viral rumors claiming that Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Dharman is an adaptation of the popular medical drama series The Good Doctor. Read on to find out what the film is really about—and why fans are already buzzing about this powerhouse collaboration.

The Rumor That Wasn’t True

Social media had a field day when reports suggested that Raaj Kamal Films International had acquired remake rights to The Good Doctor. The rumor surfaced online with a Dharman poster attached, sparking wild speculation among Rajinikanth fans. But Ashwath Marimuthu wasted no time dismissing the claim as “fake news,” and the original post was quickly deleted. The truth? Dharman is an original action-entertainer built specifically for Tamil cinema’s biggest star.

Meet the Cast and Crew Behind Dharman

Rajinikanth plays a stylish doctor in this high-octane action thriller—a role that perfectly blends the superstar’s charisma with the film’s exciting premise. With Anirudh Ravichander scoring the music and the talented Anbariv duo choreographing action sequences, Dharman promises to be a visual and audio treat.

A Production Journey Worth Mentioning

The road to Dharman wasn’t straightforward. Originally, filmmaker Sundar C was attached to direct, but circumstances led to multiple director changes. Cibi Chakaravarthi took over briefly before Ashwath Marimuthu—fresh off the success of Dragon—stepped in to helm the project. These changes delayed production, but they ensured the film gets a director fully committed to bringing Rajinikanth’s vision to life.

What’s Next for Rajinikanth?

While Dharman is still in production, Rajinikanth has lined up his next theatrical release. You can catch more details about his upcoming projects at TechnoSports, which regularly covers Tamil cinema’s biggest releases. Fans are also eagerly waiting for Jailer 2 and the long-anticipated KHxRK (Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan reunion).
