Lokesh Kanagaraj, the craziest director in south Indian Cinema at the moment, faced criticism for his last film, Leo. As a result, he decided to take a temporary hiatus from social media to focus on the script of his upcoming project, starring Superstar Rajinikanth.
During an event, Lokesh mentioned that his main priority is Thalaivar171 (working title), which is why he has yet to be unreachable. He assured the fans that he is in constant communication with Rajini and revealed that he has a 2-3 month timeline for pre-production. Lokesh Kanagaraj emphasized the extensive work required for the script. In a previous interview, he mentioned his intention to portray the superstar in a grey-shaded character and clarified that the film is not part of LCU. Thalaivar171 will not delve into drug-related themes like his previous works, opting for an experimental and unique approach. Sun Pictures will be producing this ambitious project. Anirudh Ravichander will compose the music for this film.
Starring Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role, Lokesh’s last directorial, Leo, was released in October 2023. Though the film went on to become a blockbuster at the box office, Lokesh was criticized for the second half’s content, and everyone believed that the concept of Narabai was not at all convincing. So Lokesh Kanagaraj has to work hard and give a massive comeback with Thalaivar171.
