Having
completed
the
shooting
of
2.O,
the
protagonist
of
the
movie,
Superstar
Rajinikanth
is
free
at
the
moment.
2.O,
which
has
entered
into
the
post
production
work
will
be
hitting
screens
on
January
25,
2018.
The
latest
buzz
is
that
the
shooting
of
Rajinikanth-Ranjith
combo
which
is
being
referred
to
as
Thalaivar
161
is
said
to
go
on
floors
on
28th
of
May.
The
muhurat
and
initial
canning
of
certain
sequences
will
happen
in
Chennai
where
a
giant
set
is
said
to
have
been
erected
replicating
the
Dharavi
Slum
of
Mumbai
city.
Rajinikanth
would
be
seen
in
a
don
role
playing
his
age
and
might
as
well
be
playing
dual
characters
in
the
movie.
Though
it
was
rumoured
that
the
legendary
actor
might
reprise
the
role
of
Haji
Mastan,
the
underworld
don,
the
director
of
the
movie
rubbished
the
rumours.
The
latest
official
confirmation
is
that
the
music
director
of
the
movie
is
none
other
than
the
same
magician
who
composed
Neruppu
Da
song
for
Kabali
movie
which
became
an
anthem
for
Thalaivar
fans.
Santhosh
Narayanan
who
came
out
with
a
great
album
for
Kabali
and
an
outstanding
background
music
is
confirmed
as
the
music
director
for
Thalaivar
161
and
would
be
joining
hands
with
Pa.
Ranjith
for
the
fourth
time
after
Attakathi,
Madras
and
Kabali.
SaNa,
expressed
his
happiness
and
contentment
on
bagging
the
said
offer
through
his
twitter
account.
"Humbled
to
be
part
of
#Thalaivar161.
Thank
you
@superstarrajini
@dhanushkraja
and
@beemji
for
making
me
part
of
this
prestigious
film-Sic"
Recently,
the
producer
of
the
movie,
Dhanush
hinted
that
the
national
award-winning
actor
might
sneak
in
for
an
on-screen
cameo
with
his
real
life
father-in-law
and
if
that
happens,
it
would
be
a
definite
eye
feast
for
all
Thalaivar
and
Dhanush
fans,
who
would
witness
Mama-Mapillai
in
a
single
frame
on
screen.
Dhanush
who
is
basking
in
the
success
of
his
directorial
debut,
Pa.Paandi,
would
be
keen
on
the
prestigious
project
and
could
also
be
involving
himself
for
the
scripting
work
alongside
Pa.
Ranjith
as
this
could
possibly
be
the
biggest
movie
under
his
production
banner.
With
recent
clicks
of
Rajinikanth
captured
during
various
public
outings
showing
him
in
a
beard
look,
one
could
expect
another
stylish
don
look
as
was
witnessed
in
Kabali.
If
the
movie's
shoot
commences
on
28th
May
as
expected,
then
Thalaivar
fans
could
be
in
for
a
real
sumptuous
feast
as
they
could
expect
two
movies
of
the
Superstar
in
2018.
