Social media is currently flooded with theories suggesting that Superstar Rajinikanth’s next film with director Cibi Chakravarthi, tentatively titled Thalaivar 173, might be an unofficial adaptation or inspired by the 2022 Hollywood thriller ‘The Outfit’.
The rumours propose that the “Superstar” could be playing a sophisticated tailor or a craftsman operating in a single room who outwits a group of mobsters during a deadly night.
While the makers have neither confirmed nor denied these theories, the idea of a confined, dialogue-driven psychological thriller for Rajinikanth has excited fans who wish to see him in a role that prioritises sharp intellect over physical action.
The project, produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International, is already one of the most talked-about films of the upcoming year.
