Megastar with Thalaivar, film to release in 2027

Kamal Haasan announces Thalaivar 173. Rajinikanth will play the lead in the film, which will be produced under the banner of Rajkamal Films. Director Sundar C is directing this film. The film will hit the theatres as a Pongal release in 2027. Kamal Haasan himself announced this on social media.

This landmark collaboration not only brings together two of the top forces in Indian cinema, but also celebrates the five decades of friendship and brotherhood between superstar Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan – a relationship that has inspired artists and audiences alike for generations, Kamal wrote on social media.

Earlier, at the SIIMA awards ceremony, Kamal Haasan had revealed that he is doing a film with Rajinikanth. We don't know if it will be a grand event, but if the audience likes it, it will be good. If they are happy, we will also like it. Otherwise, we will keep trying.

This has been a long time coming. We broke up because we both got a biscuit. But that half biscuit makes us both happy, so we will get together,” Kamal Haasan used to say. Soundarya Rajinikanth also spoke about this film recently.
