The much-anticipated collaboration between Superstar Rajinikanth and director Cibi Chakravarthi has reached a major milestone.
The script for Thalaivar 173 has been officially locked, and the film is set to go on floors in mid-April 2026. Directed by Cibi and produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), the project is described as a “proper commercial entertainer.”
Director Cibi has promised fans that they will walk out of theaters with “full satisfaction,” emphasizing the film’s family-hero theme.
Rumors have already begun circulating that the film might be a stylized adaptation of the 2022 English thriller ‘The Outfit’, though the team has not confirmed any plot details.
With music by Anirudh Ravichander, this project has maintained massive hype since its announcement, especially after taking over the slot previously held by director Sundar C.
