Renowned director Lokesh Kanagaraj is set to helm his next project, tentatively titled “Thalaivar 171,” featuring none other than the legendary Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. Excitement surrounds the film as it marks the collaboration of two powerhouses of the Indian film industry.
In a recent update from Bollywood, it was revealed that Lokesh Kanagaraj had approached the iconic Shah Rukh Khan for a special role in the movie. However, Shah Rukh Khan, while appreciating the script, declined the offer. Sources suggest that SRK, having committed to a special role in his daughter Suhana Khan’s debut film directed by Sujoy Ghosh, has chosen to limit such roles. Despite turning down the offer for “Thalaivar 171,” Shah Rukh Khan expressed keen interest in working on a separate project with Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Produced by Sun Pictures and featuring Anirudh Ravichander as the music director, the film is poised to commence shooting soon. Lokesh Kanagaraj, currently on a break, is gearing up to focus entirely on completing the pre-production work and bringing the film to life on the big screen.
