Sathyaraj to reunite with Rajinikanth after 38 years in 'Thalaivar 171'

Rajinikanth the Superstar of Indian cinema has announced his upcoming film with Lokesh Kanagaraj, and the film has been tentatively titled 'Thalaivar 171'. As the pre-production work of 'Thalaivar 171' is inching towards completion, we have been hearing regular updates about the film. The latest report suggests that Sathyaraj will be seen playing a crucial role in Rajinikanth's film with Lokesh Kanagaraj. Sathyaraj, who worked with Rajinikanth in multiple films during the 1980s, hasn't associated with the Superstar actor for almost 4 decades. However, now it seems Sathyaraj has changed his plans to share screen space with Rajinikanth in Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Sathyaraj was the initial choice for the antagonist role in Shankar's directorial 'Sivaji' featuring Rajinikanth, but he refused the offer, and it later went to Suman. Lokesh Kanagaraj has convinced Sathyaraj to work with Rajinikanth, and the former is bringing up the much-awaited duo after 38 years. We have to wait to see whether Sathyaraj will be standing in support of Rajinikanth or taking the opposite side in 'Thalaivar 171'. However, the vintage duo is coming back after a long time and they are expected to deliver the best to impress fans.

Shruti Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Mohan are also said to be part of the 'Thalaivar 171' cast, while Shah Rukh Khan is likely to play a special appearance. The title teaser of 'Thalaivar 171' is getting ready to be unveiled on April 22, and the makers have let the Lok Sabha election waves turn calm in Tamil Nadu.
