Shriya Saran has sparked excitement among fans after sharing a picture with superstar Rajinikanth, fuelling speculation that the actors could reunite on screen nearly two decades after their successful collaboration in Sivaji: The Boss. The actress’ latest social media post has added weight to ongoing rumours surrounding her possible involvement in Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Dharman.
Shriya Saran drops a selfie with Rajinikanth
Shriya took to Instagram to share a selfie with Rajinikanth, which appeared to have been clicked inside an aircraft. Captioning the picture, she wrote, “When you meet the legend, Photo toh banta hai.” The seemingly casual post quickly caught the attention of fans, who began speculating about whether the reunion could be connected to Dharman.
The possibility has particularly excited fans because Shriya and Rajinikanth previously shared the screen in S Shankar’s 2007 blockbuster Sivaji: The Boss. The film, which became one of the biggest successes of its time, featured Rajinikanth in the lead with Shriya playing the female lead. Nearly 19 years later, their possible reunion has naturally triggered nostalgia among audiences.

Fans flooded the comments section of Shriya’s post with references to Sivaji. Several remembered the 2007 film, while others shared GIFs and messages recalling the duo’s popular pairing. The actress’ photograph therefore became more than a simple celebrity moment, with many viewers interpreting it as a possible hint about her next project.
Speculation sparks around Shriya’s role in Dharman
The speculation comes amid reports that Shriya could have a role in Dharman, which is being directed by Ashwath Marimuthu. The film stars Rajinikanth in the lead and also features Raashii Khanna, Simran and Yogi Babu. If Shriya’s casting is eventually confirmed, it would mark her reunion with Rajinikanth after almost two decades.
However, there has been no official confirmation yet regarding Shriya’s participation in the film. Her social media post has only intensified the buzz, leaving fans eager to know whether the two stars will actually share the screen again.
Shriya has previously spoken warmly about her experience working with Rajinikanth on Sivaji. She recalled being extremely nervous when she first met the superstar, describing herself as “starstruck”. She also said Rajinikanth made her comfortable during the shoot and never allowed his immense stardom to create distance between them.
For now, fans will have to wait for an official announcement. But if the rumours surrounding Dharman turn out to be true, the return of the Sivaji duo would undoubtedly be one of the film’s most nostalgic highlights.
