Nagma shared screen space with Rajinikanth in the 1995 blockbuster hit Baashha directed by Suresh Krissna. The story of the film revolves around an autoricksha driver who has a dreaded past. The film was shot in five months and ran in theaters for 175 days. The film, that has a cult following, was re-released last year for its 25th anniversary and was celebrated once again.
Nagma made her debut in Tollywood with Peddinti Alludu as a heroine and was last seen in Allari Ramudu, where she played the mother of Aarti Agarwal. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth after several delays recently announced that he would be entering politics and he would announce the party's name on December 31, 2020.
On the career front, he is currently shooting for Annaatthe in Hyderabad which is being directed by Siva. Tipped to be a rural drama, the film also stars Nayanthara, Keerthy Suresh, Meena and Khushbhu in key roles. D Imman has been signed as the film’s composer and this will be his second collaboration with Siva after Viswasam, which was a chartbuster album. Also, Siva's standard technical team comprising of cinematographer Vetri and editor Ruben have been roped in.
Rajinikanth was last seen playing an angry cop out to avenge his daughter’s death in Darbar, which was directed by A.R Murugadoss. The film featured Prateik Babbar, Nivetha Thomas and Yogi Babu in crucial roles. While Anirudh Ravichander had composed music, Santosh Sivan cranked the camera. Despite grossing over Rs 200 crore worldwide, Darbar turned out to be a damp squib at the box-office.
Following the failure of Darbar, it is rumored that Rajinikanth agreed to reduce his remuneration by half for Annaatthe. Darbar, which marked the first-time collaboration of Rajinikanth and AR Murugadoss, had reportedly incurred losses of Rs 70 crore.
