Director Siva's recent favourite Imman has been roped in for the filmmaker's next film starring Rajinikanth. Tentatively titled as Thalaivar 168, the Twitter profile of the film's production house, Sun Pictures, confirmed the news. Interestingly, this will be the first time the composer will be working for a Rajini film.

The makers are yet to reveal details about the cast and the crew. Sun Pictures has earlier collaborated with Rajinikanth for Enthiran and Petta. Both the projects turned out to be highly profitable endeavours for the production house. Siva had previously collaborated with Imman for his last film, the Ajith starrer Viswasam. 

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is busy with his upcoming film, Darbar, which is directed by AR Murugadoss, and slated for a Pongal 2020 release.
