Superstar Rajinikanth continues to redefine stardom with his relentless pace, and after the much-anticipated JAILER 2, the legendary actor is all set to move on to his next project, tentatively titled #THALAIVAR173. The film will be directed by Cibi Chakravarthi, who made a strong mark in Tamil cinema with his earlier work, and expectations are already soaring high around this fresh collaboration.
According to reliable sources, the shooting of Thalaivar 173 is scheduled to commence in April, marking yet another busy phase in Rajinikanth’s illustrious career. Even at this stage of his journey, the Superstar shows no signs of slowing down, choosing scripts that balance mass appeal with strong emotional and commercial elements. This upcoming venture is said to be a full-fledged commercial entertainer, designed to cater to Rajinikanth’s vast fan base across generations.
What adds further weight to the project is the production house backing it. Thalaivar 173 will be produced by Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), the prestigious banner owned by Kamal Haasan. This association has generated significant buzz, as it brings together two of Indian cinema’s biggest icons indirectly through this high-profile project. RKFI has been known for backing quality cinema with solid production values, and their involvement assures a grand scale and technical finesse.
Director Cibi Chakravarthi is expected to present Rajinikanth in a role that blends style, emotion, and mass moments, staying true to the Superstar’s screen persona while also offering something fresh. While details regarding the cast, music composer, and technical crew are being kept under wraps, insiders suggest that the makers are carefully assembling a strong team to match the film’s ambition.
With JAILER 2 already creating massive anticipation, Thalaivar 173 adds another exciting chapter to Rajinikanth’s lineup. As pre-production progresses and more updates emerge, fans are eagerly waiting to see how this commercial entertainer shapes up. One thing is certain—whenever Thalaivar steps onto a film set, cinema celebrations are never far behind.
