Big Shock to Rajinikanth’s Film - Director Change Again?

Superstar Rajinikanth is set to headline the much-awaited film Thalaivar 173, which is being produced by Kamal Haasan under his banner. This project is considered one of the most prestigious films in Kollywood. Initially, director Sundar C stepped away from the project, after which Cibi Chakravarthi took over as director. The film was expected to begin shooting this month, but now fresh confusion has surrounded the project.

According to industry reports, Cibi Chakravarthi has also stepped away from the film. There are two main reasons being discussed. One is said to be creative differences between the director and Rajinikanth regarding certain changes in the script. Another reason being reported is related to financial issues affecting the project.

It is also being said that Cibi Chakravarthi had earlier taken an advance from another producer, who later asked for a share in this film. However, Kamal Haasan’s production house did not agree to this, which may have led to complications. Now, reports suggest that Ashwath Marimuthu might take over the direction of this big project. An official announcement is expected soon, while fans continue to wonder why such confusion surrounds a film of this scale.
