After teaming up with Kamal Haasan after almost 37 years for ‘Thug Life’, filmmaker Mani Ratnam is all set to reunite with Rajinikanth after 34 years.
An official announcement regarding the Rajini-Mani Ratnam project is expected to be out on December 12, on the occasion of Rajini’s birthday.
As per the latest updates, the Rajini-Mani Ratnam project, tentatively titled ‘Thalaivar173’, might go on floors in July, 2025, once Mani Ratnam is free from ‘Thug Life’ theatrical release.
Mani Ratnam’s production house, Madras Talkies, will collaborate with a leading Kollywood banner to jointly bankroll ‘Thalaivar173’.
Rajini and Mani Ratnam had collaborated with each other for the iconic gangster drama, ‘Thalapathi’, which released in 1991.
