Rajinikanth's 'Thalaivar 173' gets release date, locks director
Entertainment
Big update for Rajinikanth fans: the script for 'Thalaivar 173' is officially locked, and filming kicks off this April.
Produced by Kamal Haasan and R Mahendran under Raaj Kamal Films International, the movie is aiming for a Pongal 2027 release.
Director Cibi promises a fresh take
Director Cibi Chakravarthi (of 'Don' fame) promises a fresh mix of emotion and action—hinted at in the poster with scissors, needles, guns, and cloth.
Music comes from Anirudh Ravichander, marking his sixth team-up with Rajini.
Pre-production has moved fast despite Rajinikanth's packed schedule (he's also busy with 'Jailer 2'), making this project one to watch for anyone excited about new-age Tamil cinema.
