Entertainment
Rajinikanth just confirmed that Thalaivar 173, his next big Tamil film produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International, starts shooting in April 2026.
The movie celebrates RKFI's decades-long history and their decades-long friendship between these two cinema legends.
Film aiming for Pongal 2027 release
Thalaivar 173 is shaping up to be a crowd-pleasing commercial entertainer, now directed by Cibi Chakravarthi, following the exit of director Sundar C.
Music comes from Anirudh Ravichander, and the film is aiming for a Pongal 2027 release.
These kinds of mega collaborations are what set South Indian cinema apart, mixing creative control with fan power to deliver blockbusters that keep audiences coming back.
