Rajinikanth Joins Forces With Lokesh Kanagaraj For ‘Thalaivar 171’

Rajinikanth

The major announcement has arrived, confirming the previous rumors. “Thalaivar 171” has now been officially revealed, and Rajinikanth is collaborating with director Lokesh Kanagaraj for his upcoming film. Following the success of “Jailer,” the music for this film will once again be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, and Sun Pictures is the production house behind it.

Sun Pictures, the makers of “Thalaivar171,” took to Twitter to make the official announcement, sharing a poster that unveils the tentative title, “Thalaivar 171,” against a backdrop of red and black, with blood splatters. The action sequences are entrusted to Anbariv, renowned for their work in “KGF.”

It’s noteworthy that Rajinikanth and Sun Pictures recently delivered a massive blockbuster with “Jailer,” which shattered multiple box office records, raking in Rs 650 crores. To celebrate this monumental success, Kalainthi Maran generously gifted expensive cars and substantial checks to the superstar, director Nelson Dilipkumar, and music composer Anirudh.

Anticipation for “Thalaivar171” is already sky-high, as it marks Rajinikanth’s next release following the highly anticipated “Leo” starring Thalapathy Vijay. The inclusion of Anirudh, whose music played a pivotal role in the success of “Jailer,” is another exciting factor.

This collaboration between Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth in “Thalaivar 171” is their first, and the director is well-known for his successful films like “Maanagaram,” “Kaithi,” and “Master.” He is currently awaiting the release of “Leo,” featuring Thalapathy Vijay, Sanjay Dutt, and others in lead roles, scheduled for October 19.

There are reports suggesting that Lokesh Kanagaraj’s film with Rajinikanth will stand alone and won’t be connected to the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).

Additionally, there’s a buzz that “Thalaivar171″ could potentially be Rajinikanth’s final film. Renowned Tamil filmmaker and actor Mysskin revealed in an interview that Rajinikanth personally requested Lokesh Kanagaraj to direct his last film. While there’s no official confirmation, if these reports prove true, it would be a fitting conclusion to Rajinikanth’s illustrious five-decade-long career with Lokesh’s unique direction.

Rajinikanth’s Film ‘Jailer’ Poised To Cross ₹300 Crore Mark At Indian Box Office

Jailer

Rajinikanth’s Tamil movie “Jailer” is poised to surpass the ₹300 crore milestone at the domestic box office. The film garnered ₹3.65 crore on its second Wednesday across languages in India, according to reports. The film’s current total at the domestic box office is ₹295.65 crore. “Jailer” was released on August 10, a day before Akshay Kumar’s “OMG 2” and Sunny Deol’s “Gadar 2.” While “Gadar 2” is leading, “Jailer” holds the second position. Although “Gadar 2” has surpassed the ₹400 crore mark, “Jailer” is on track to reach the ₹300 crore mark soon.

“Jailer” opened at ₹48.35 crore on a Thursday, surpassing “Gadar 2,” which opened a day later with ₹40 crore. In its first week, “Jailer” accumulated ₹235.85 crore but experienced a slowdown after its second weekend.

The film directed by Nelson Dilipkumar has become the second fastest Tamil film to cross ₹550 crore globally in just 12 days. The quickest film to achieve this feat was Rajinikanth’s 2018 movie “2.0,” which accomplished the milestone in eight days. The movie also features Vinayakan, Ramya Krishnan, and Vasanth Ravi. Shiva Rajkumar, Mohanlal, and Jackie Shroff make guest appearances in the film. Tamannaah Bhatia plays a role and is featured in a special dance number called “Kaavaalaa,” which gained popularity on the internet even before the film’s release. Produced by Sun Pictures, the film features music by Anirudh Ravichander.

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth has returned to Chennai after his spiritual journey to Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand. He offered prayers at the Badrinath Temple in Chamoli, Ram Janmbhoomi, Hanuman Garhi in Ayodhya, and other places. Along the way, he met various politicians, including Uttar Pradesh governor Anandiben Patel, chief minister Yogi Adityanath, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav, and Jharkhand governor C. P. Radhakrishnan.
