After the phenomenal success of Viswasam that starred Ajith Kumar and Nayanthara in lead roles, director Siruthai Siva is back. The filmmaker will be helming Superstar Rajinikanth as the lead in Thalaivar 168.
Thalaivar 168 will be produced by Sun Pictures, who had earlier bankrolled two of Rajinikanth’s successful features such as Endhiran and the Karthik Subbaraj-directorial Petta, which released this year along with Viswasam.
The makers have officially announced that popular comedian Soori will be acting in Thalaivar 168. The actor will be sharing screen space along with Superstar for the first time. Thalaivar 168 music will be composed by D. Imman.
On the work front, Rajinikanth is currently busy with the proceedings of Darbar, which is directed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Subaskaran under the banner Lyca Productions. Touted to be a cop-based action film, Darbar is set to release on Pongal 2020. Soori will also be playing the lead in director Vetrimaaran's forthcoming project, which will be bankrolled by Lyca Productions.
