Rajinikanth's Thalaivar 170 goes on floors

Rajinikanth fans have been relishing an updates feast for the past three days as Lyca Productions, the makers of the actor's upcoming Thalaivar 170 with TJ Gnanavel, were revealing cast and crew details. 

Putting a temporary stop to these announcements, on Wednesday, the production house shared a poster of the veteran actor and announced that the film has gone on floors. Further, they also announced that more updates would be unveiled, once the shoot progresses. 

So far, the ensemble cast of the Rajinikanth vehicle consists of Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Manju Warrier, Rana Daggubati, Dushara Vijayan and Rithika Singh. While the makers have not disclosed details about the entire crew, they announced that Anirudh Ravichander, who was the composer for Jailer, will compose music for this Rajinikanth-starrer as well. 

Earlier on Tuesday, Rajinikanth jetted off to Kochi for the film's shoot. While speaking to the press outside the airport, the veteran shared that Thalaivar 170 would be a big commercial movie backed by a message. 

Meanwhile, Rajinikanth's Lal Salaam, in which he plays an extended cameo, is slated for a Pongal 2024 release. The film, helmed by Aishwaryaa Rajinikanth, also stars Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in lead roles. Rajinikanth also has Lokesh Kanagaraj's Thalaivar 171 in the pipeline.
