Key Takeaways
Chennai, Feb 7 (NationPress) If industry insiders are to be believed, the promotional shoot for the much-anticipated film directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, featuring the legendary Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan sharing the screen, is set to commence this Saturday.
Reports suggest that the promo will mirror the humorous style of the one released for 'Jailer 2' and will include cameos of director Nelson Dilipkumar and music composer Anirudh as make-up artists.
Although an official announcement regarding this collaboration between Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan has yet to be made, industry chatter indicates that the film, currently dubbed as #Thalaivar174 X #KH238, is indeed happening.
In the meantime, Cibi Chakravarthy, who is at the helm of Rajinikanth's anticipated project tentatively titled #Thalaivar173, is preparing to kick off production. The director had recently assured both the fans and the family of Rajinikanth about the film.
The young director, who attended the pre-release event for Soundarya Rajinikanth's movie 'With Love', expressed, "I am addressing you all for the first time since the announcement of #Thalaivar173. I want to share something special here."
He mentioned that he received an overwhelming number of well-wishes following the film's announcement, stating, "I even got messages from unexpected sources. I understand the concerns: 'Is this person capable?'
He continued, "I want to assure all fans of Thalaivar and his family that when you exit the theatres after viewing #Thalaivar173, you will do so feeling fulfilled. This is my promise to you."
Recently, Rajinikanth spoke about his upcoming film with Cibi Chakravarthy, produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International, sharing that filming is slated to start in April of this year and that it will be a genuine commercial entertainer.
The excitement has been palpable ever since Kamal Haasan announced that his production company, Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), would be behind this project.
Originally, one of Tamil cinema's most successful directors, Sundar C, was slated to direct this film, which Kamal Haasan had described as a grand project. However, in a surprising turn of events, Sundar C decided to step down from the project.
