Dushara Vijayan, who was last seen in Aneethi, is part of the upcoming Tamil film tentatively titled Thalaivar 170 starring Rajinikanth in the lead role. The makers are rolling out a slew of announcements, revealing primary cast and crew members since Sunday.

It is to be noted that it will be the first time Dushara will be sharing screen space with Rajinikanth.

Thalaivar 170 is directed by TJ Gnanavel and is backed by Subaskaran under the banner Lyca Productions. It is to be noted that this is the first time Gnanavel will be directing Rajinikanth. The director last helmed the hard-hitting Suriya-starrer courtroom drama Jai Bhim.

On the other hand, Thalaivar 170 will mark Anirudh Ravichander, who will be scoring for the film, marking his fourth collaboration with a Rajinikanth starrer.
