Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan decided to do a multistarrer film, and they initially considered Lokesh Kanagaraj as an option, but as he failed to impress them, another director, Nelson, grabbed the opportunity.
The official announcement of Thalaivar 173 is expected to be out very soon with a video. With this, Nelson is doing three consecutive films with Rajinikanth: Jailer, Jailer 2, and the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan multistarrer.
Nelson’s career soars after Jailer’s success
After a setback like Beast, scoring a massive blockbuster like Jailer and getting even bigger projects from the same star is kind of a comeback that is truly fantastic from the director Nelson Dilipkumar.
Nelson debuted as a director with Kolamaavu Kokila (2018), which was a successful film, followed by big hits like Doctor (2021), and the blockbuster Jailer (2023), establishing himself as a top director.
