Rajini is expected to make an announcement about his new film on his birthday. If not his birthday, his fans are expecting some information atleast before the end of this month. Even as speculations are intense, two leading heroines, Jyothika and Trisha are battling it out between themselves to be his next heroine.

Rajini's fans needn't be anxious now.

Rajini was silent about his next film for a very long time since August 15th. For the past few weeks, he had been busy though about his new film. The moment he saw 'Saami', he had chosen Hari to direct his next film. You would have read reports that he is also involved in selecting a screenplay now. This only means that there is no doubt that the film?s screenplay is getting ready.

If this is not enough, the president of his fan clubs, Sathyanarayana had confirmed that Rajini would make an official announcement about his new film on either his birthday or within a few weeks.

Let's get to the issue- Now that Hari and Harris Jayaraj have been confirmed for his film, the big question is- who is going to be the heroine? Everybody believes that it might be Trisha. But, it would be an embarrassment if he invites Trisha to co-star with him because she is currently acting in big banner films like 'Aayutha Yezhuthu', 'Ji' and'Gilli'. If Rajini were to begin his film in January, she wouldn't be able to give exclusive call sheets for the film. This turns the tides in Jyothika's favor. But, Trisha had called Hari up and stressed rather strongly that she is ready to act in Rajini's film anytime.

Jyothika has planned to quit the industry in 2004 after her marriage. So, she is particular about acting in atleast one Rajini film before the end of her career. Looks like Rajini is very impressed with Jyothika's performance in 'Kaaka Kaaka' So, she has a slight lead over Trisha right now.

So,'Dhimsu kattai'and 'Maami'are fighting it out to become his next heroine. Whom would you choose?.....
