Get ready for a legendary reunion! In a recent video, Kamal Haasan expressed his joy at collaborating with the iconic Rajinikanth for the upcoming film tentatively named Thalaivar 173. But here's the twist: it's not what fans initially expected.
Just a few days ago, Kamal confirmed the reunion, but with a unique twist. He announced that he will produce a film starring Rajinikanth, directed by Sundar C. This news sparked excitement, as it marks a significant collaboration between these industry veterans. However, it also raised questions about whether we'll see these two legends share the screen again.
The video, released by Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), shows the trio meeting to finalize the project. Rajinikanth, in his signature style, arrives and enters the RKFI office, followed by Kamal Haasan and Sundar C. The gathering is filled with emotion as they are honored with shawls, and Kamal shares his happiness at working with his longtime colleagues.
The project has a tentative title, Thalaivar 173, and is scheduled for a Pongal 2027 release. This announcement comes after Rajinikanth expressed his desire to work with Kamal again at the Coolie audio launch. Their last on-screen appearances together were in Thillu Mullu (1981) and Geraftaar (1985). But their history goes way back to the 1970s, with Rajinikanth's debut film Apoorva Raagangal in 1975, and several other notable collaborations throughout the decade.
Sundar C has a history with both actors, having directed Rajinikanth in Arunachalam (1997) and worked with Kamal in Anbe Sivam (2003). Currently, he is directing Mookuthi Amman 2, starring Nayanthara. Thalaivar 173 will be produced by Kamal Haasan and R Mahendran under the Raajkamal Films International banner, leaving fans eager for more updates on this highly anticipated project.
And this is the part most fans are curious about: will Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth share the screen again, or will their collaboration be behind the scenes? The suspense builds as we await further details. What do you think? Share your thoughts and keep the excitement going!
