Dhanush In Talks To Direct Superstar Rajinikanth: Is It Thalaivar 173?

Chennai, November 16 - The buzz around Thalaivar 173 has intensified in recent days, as fans eagerly await updates on Superstar Rajinikanth's highly anticipated film, to be produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International. The project was expected to move forward smoothly — until a major shakeup stirred new speculation and excitement.

Director Sundar C, who was originally announced to helm the film, has unexpectedly exited the project. His sudden departure has left a big question mark over the directorial seat, with fans wondering who will take up the responsibility of shaping the Superstar's next on-screen journey, after the yet-to-be-released Jailer 2.

Amid this uncertainty, a thrilling report has captured everyone's attention — Dhanush is reportedly in talks to direct Rajinikanth. If these discussions materialise, it would mark a landmark collaboration between the duo. The possibility of Dhanush directing Thalaivar for the first time has already electrified fans and the industry alike.

According to circulating reports, the film is likely to be officially announced soon. Some reports even claim that Dhanush could step in as the new director of Thalaivar 173 following Sundar C's exit, turning the buzz into one of the hottest conversations in Tamil cinema right now.

However, it must be noted that no credible confirmation has emerged yet. Neither the production house nor the actors involved have addressed the speculation, and for now, the rumour remains exactly that — a rumour. The official announcement, whenever it comes, could be a game-changer for Kollywood.
