Fans of superstar Rajinikanth are in for a treat! Basking in the success of Jailer, Thalaivar has announced his next. The Darbar actor will be joining forces with Vikram maker Lokesh Kanagaraj for the project named Thalaivar 171 for now. This yet-to-be-titled drama will be financed by Sun Pictures, who also backed Rajinikanth’s Jailer. The movie is yet to go on the floors as Lokesh Kanagaraj is occupied with the post-production work of Thalapathy Vijay starrer Leo at the moment. It will be exciting to see what this actor and director duo come up with next.
It has been speculated for some time that Lokesh Kanagaraj plans to collaborate with Rajinikanth.

Anirudh Ravichander who has been roped in as the music composer for Thalaivar 171 has also scored the tunes for filmmaker Lokesh Kanaragaj’s Vikram and Leo. Not just that, he also worked with Thalaivar in Jailer.
The film’s technical crew also includes the stunt choreographer duo Anbu-Arivu. The remaining cast and crew of the drama will be announced later. It is said that Thalaivar 171 will also be a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, bringing together all the superstars from Kollywood.
Rajinikanth is expected to start working on director TJ Gnanavel’s Thalaivar 170 next. It is believed that Fahadh Faasil has come on board the cast of the film as the antagonist. If reports are to be believed, the superstar will be seen essaying the role of a police officer in his next.
On the other hand, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s professional lineup includes Leo, Kaithi 2, and Vikram 2.
In the meantime, Sun Pictures’s Kalanithi Maran recently gifted luxury cars to the members of Jailer, including superstar Rajinikanth, director Nelson Dilipkumar, and composer Anirudh Ravichander as the movie turned out to be such a major success at the box office.
