Lokesh Kanagaraj is without a doubt the most celebrated filmmaker of Tamil cinema today; he joins the elite list of K. Balachander, Mani Rathnam, and S. Shankar, who’ve had a decades-long impact on audiences with their ground-breaking cinematic marvels. His last theatrical outing, Leo (2023), was a monstrous success at the box office, thus elevating him to new heights.
As officially announced, he is signed to direct a film with ‘Super Star’ Rajinikanth in the lead role. Bankrolled by Sun Pictures on a lavish budget, this is a standolone project that is not part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). In spite of that, it is crafted as an ‘event’ film that can entertain audiences across the length and breadth of the country, like that of S. S. Rajamouli’s films.
Tentatively titled #Thalaivar171, the project’s already carrying enormous hype, and trade experts call it a film with a potential gross of INR 1000 crore. Amidst this frenzy, the filmmaker leaves an update with a poster that portrays the Thalaivar in an astonishing manner. As stated in the poster, a title-revealing teaser will be out on April 22, 2024. The film’s music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, while AnbAriv will handle the stunts department.
