Tamil cinema is witnessing a historic moment as two of its biggest icons, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, are coming together for a film after five decades of friendship. Titled Thalaivar 173, the movie will be produced under Kamal Haasan’s RaajKamal Films International banner and directed by Sundar C. The announcement has sent fans into a frenzy, marking what many are calling the ultimate cinematic reunion between the two legends of Indian cinema.
The makers described Thalaivar 173 as more than just a film — a celebration of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan’s brotherhood that has stood strong for over fifty years. It’s a collaboration that merges two towering legacies, promising an unforgettable theatrical experience. The film is scheduled for a grand Pongal 2027 release through Red Giant Movies, setting the stage for one of the biggest box-office events in recent memory.
Internet reacts
Fans are buzzing with excitement over Thalaivar 173, and the biggest question on everyone’s mind is who will compose the music. Many pointed out that since Rajinikanth is working with a different production house after eight years, it’s unlikely to be Anirudh this time, with some hoping HipHop Thamizha will come on board. Others praised RaajKamal Films International for consistently delivering quality cinema and called the Rajinikanth–Kamal Haasan reunion a peak moment of friendship, nostalgia, and cinematic grandeur.
Rajinikanth's work front
Rajinikanth was last seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, an action-packed thriller. Coolie is produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures. Starring Rajinikanth alongside Nagarjuna Akkineni, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and others, the film follows a former coolie union leader who uncovers a powerful crime syndicate while investigating his friend’s death. Initially announced in September 2023 as Thalaivar 171, the film marks Rajinikanth’s 171st outing as a lead actor.
Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan was last seen in Thug Life, a Tamil gangster drama directed by Mani Ratnam, who co-wrote it with Haasan. Produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies, the film stars Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan, Trisha, Aishwarya Lekshmi, and others. He also has Indian 3 in the pipeline.
