Rajinikanth teams up with director Siva for ‘Thalaivar 168’

The film marks Rajinikanth’s third association with Sun Pictures after 'Enthiran' and 'Petta'

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.
