In a significant development for Superstar Rajinikanth's highly anticipated 173rd project, the female leads have allegedly been finalised, sending waves of excitement across the internet. The film, tentatively titled 'Thalaivar 173', marks another milestone in the legendary actor's illustrious career.
Directorial Changes and Musical Addition
Originally, director Sundar C was roped in to helm this project, but he later opted out. Following this, Cibi Chakravarthy was signed as the new director, bringing fresh vision to the film. Adding to the anticipation, popular music composer Anirudh has been brought on board to create the soundtrack, marking an exciting new collaboration that has fans eagerly awaiting the musical treats.
Pooja Hegde and Priyanka Mohan in Key Roles
According to reports from Zee News, leading actresses Pooja Hegde and Priyanka Mohan are likely to play important roles in 'Thalaivar 173'. Interestingly, speculation suggests that the film's leading ladies were chosen primarily by director Cibi Chakravarthy rather than following the customary practice where superstars often have significant say in casting decisions.
If these reports hold true, both Pooja Hegde and Priyanka Mohan would be seen together in this movie, though their specific roles remain unclear at this stage. The news has generated considerable buzz online, with fans speculating about how these talented actresses will fit into the narrative.
No Traditional Romantic Pairing Expected
Despite their involvement, neither Pooja Hegde nor Priyanka Mohan is expected to play Rajinikanth's traditional romantic heroine. Rumors suggest that Priyanka Mohan's character might be particularly chaotic and important to the plot. The film appears to be moving away from conventional romantic pairings, instead featuring these actresses as lead characters with substantial impact on the overall storyline.
Third Senior Actress Joins the Cast
Adding more intrigue to the casting, buzz suggests that a senior, super-experienced heroine is also on board for a female lead role. This development could potentially make 'Thalaivar 173' a three-heroine film, elevating the project to another level of mass appeal and narrative complexity.
Production Timeline and Other Projects
Currently, Rajinikanth is busy shooting for the sequel to his blockbuster film 'Jailer', with 'Jailer 2' presumed to be helmed by director Nelson. This project is expected to wrap up by March 2025. Following this, 'Thalaivar 173' is scheduled to begin production in April 2025, with official plans targeting a Pongal 2027 release, giving fans a clear timeline for this much-awaited cinematic event.
The story details of 'Thalaivar 173' remain tightly under wraps, but the casting developments have certainly heightened expectations. With a new director at the helm, fresh musical talent, and an intriguing female lead ensemble, Rajinikanth's 173rd film promises to be a significant addition to Indian cinema.
