Rajnikant to play Shah Rukh Khan!

The Hindi version of Sivaji will see Rajnikant pay homage to current Bollywood screen icon Shah Rukh Khan in a specially added song.

The film, which will release after Diwali, will see Rajnikanth in the guise of the Rukhster as well as enacting like yesteryear actor Shammi Kapoor. Rajnikant was also asked to parody Amitabh Bachchan, but he refused due to the immense respect he has for the legend.

A.R. Rahman is to compose this song which Rajnikanth and the film's actress Shriya will begin shooting in the next month.
