Rajinikanth gives a sarcastic reply to ‘Thalaivar 169’ rumors

Superstar Rajinikanth’s next film will be directed by the ‘Beast’ director Nelson Dilipkumar and the official announcement was made with a superb teaser. However, Nelson Dilipkumar’s last week’s release ‘Beast’ starring Vijay received mixed reviews, and it stirred up the speculations that Rajinikanth is upset over the result and is finding a replacement to direct his next ‘Thalaivar 169’ instead of Nelson. But Rajinikanth’s latest social media action confirms ‘Thalaivar 169’ is on as the actor has changed his Twitter cover picture with a picture from the film’s title announcement video. Therefore without clarification posts, Rajinikanth has confirmed ‘Thalaivar 169’ with Nelson, and given a sarcastic message to fans.
Meanwhile, fans are happy to have confirmation from Rajinikanth, and they are expecting an entertaining film from the fresh duo. Nelson Dilipkumar is currently working on finalizing the script for the film, and he is in discussion with the actor for the development. The shooting of ‘Thalaivar 169’ is expected to begin post-June, while the other cast and crew for the film are not yet finalized. Anirudh Ravichander is roped in to score music, and the film marks his fourth with Nelson and third with Rajinikanth.
Rajinikanth will be seen in a fresh avatar in ‘Thalaivar 169’, and will not be a heavy drama film.
