Fans were thrilled when Rajinikanth signed his next film, Thalaivar 173, under the production of Kamal Haasan, with Sundar C as the director, who is now said to be replaced by Dhanush. Sundar C has reportedly stepped away from the project due to creative differences.
Now, the latest buzz is that Dhanush is in advanced talks to direct the film. While several directors have been considered, Dhanush’s name has gained strong momentum. Known for his work both in front of and behind the camera, Dhanush recently directed and starred in Idli Kadai, which received a good response on OTT.
Thalaivar 173: Dhanush is ahead of other directors in the race to helm the biggie
Dhanush has long expressed interest in directing a film with a top star, and though a rumored project with Ajith didn’t materialize, this opportunity with Rajinikanth could mark a major milestone in his directorial career.
If confirmed, this collaboration between Superstar Rajinikanth and Dhanush promises to be an exciting one. Dhanush’s previous directorial ventures, especially his mass entertainers like Raayan, have been well-received, raising expectations for what he could bring to Thalaivar 173.
