Tamil cinema is set for a historic cinematic moment as Superstar Rajinikanth teams up with Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI) for the magnum opus #Thalaivar173, directed by blockbuster filmmaker Sundar C. The announcement has sparked massive excitement among fans, marking a rare collaboration that celebrates over five decades of friendship and mutual admiration between two of Indian cinema’s greatest icons.

The film commemorates 44 glorious years of Raaj Kamal Films International, known for producing some of Tamil cinema’s most memorable works. Under the visionary production of Kamal Haasan and R. Mahendran, #Thalaivar173 promises to blend Rajinikanth’s magnetic screen presence with Sundar C’s signature grandeur and storytelling flair.
