Following the historic success of Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer, all eyes are on the stalwart actor’s 170th movie. To be directed by Jai Bhim director TJ Gnanavel, this as-yet-untitled movie will be going on floors from September 19, on the auspicious Vinayaka Chavithi festival. Rajini is rumored to be essaying the role of a Muslim police officer in the movie.
Until recently, speculations were rife that either Sharwanand or Nani will be playing a crucial lead role in Thalaivar170. However, the latest updates reveal that it’s neither Sharwa nor Nani but Rana Daggubati who has grabbed the opportunity to share screen with Rajinikanth in this highly-anticipated biggie. However, details about Rana’s role in the movie have been kept under wraps.
Thalaivar170 will also feature Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil and Manju Warrier in important roles. Lyca Productions is bankrolling this project and Anirudh Ravichander will be composing the soundtrack. More details will be out in the coming days.
