Tamil superstar Rajinikanth made this announcement at the 50th show of 'Charukesi' at Vani Mahal in Chennai. He also kickstarted the project with the customary 'clap'.Rajinikanth said: "In 1975, when I went to see the play 'Ragasiyam Parama Ragasiyam', I was not allowed in. But now I am here as the special guest at the 50th show of 'Charukesi'. This is all an act of time.:He added: "Popular actors, including Nagesh, Jayalalithaa, Cho, Visu, and so on, are from the UAA theatre troupe. It is a disciplined troupe with many educated people and experts from various fields."Rajinikanth noted that had "Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan been alive, 'Charukesi' would have been another 'Vietnam Veedu'."He continued: "As far as this drama is concerned, the story, screenplay, characters and dialogues are all well placed.

The play is directed by Y Gee Mahendra. The story revolves around the life of a musician suffering from Alzheimer's.'Charukesi' will be adapted into a movie by SARP (Sri Agraharam Rajalakshmi) Picture Production.
