Actor Rajinikanth is joining hands with director Siva for his forthcoming project, tentatively titled Thalaivar 168 .
“After the blockbuster hits Enthiran and Petta , the mega hit combo of Superstar Rajinikanth and Sun Pictures come together for the third time for Thalaivar 168 . To be directed by Siva,” tweeted Sun Pictures’ Twitter handle on Friday.
Thalaivar 168 marks Rajinikanth’s third association with Sun Pictures after Enthiran and Petta . Going by reports, the makers are currently in the process of finalising the cast and crew.
It is worth mentioning that the Siva-directed Viswasam gave tough competition to Rajinikanth’s Petta earlier this year when both movies clashed at the box office on Pongal. Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is wrapping up his forthcoming Darbar , directed by A.R. Murugadoss. Also starring Nayanthara, Yogi Babu and Pratheik Babbar in key roles, the film has music by Anirudh Ravichander and is slated for release on Pongal 2020.
