While
it
was
said
that
Don
director
Cibi
Chakaravarthi
is
going
to
direct
Rajinikanth's
Thalaivar
171,
now
it
has
been
reported
that
there
has
been
a
drastic
change.
Cibi
Chakaravarthi
worked
as
an
assistant
director
to
director
Atlee.
He
made
his
entry
in
Tamil
cinema
as
a
director
with
the
movie
Don
which
was
released
last
May
with
Sivakarthikeyan
as
the
hero
of
the
film.
The
film,
which
was
co-produced
by
Lyca
and
Sivakarthikeyan's
SK
Productions
became
a
blockbuster
hit.
At
the
box
office
too,
it
collected
more
than
Rs.125
crores
and
showed
mass.
Cibi
Chakaravarthi
started
getting
more
film
opportunities
after
giving
a
film
that
collected
Rs.100
crores
in
the
very
first
film.
The
jackpot
opportunity
he
got
was
Rajini's
171st
film
opportunity.
The
film
was
also
planned
to
be
produced
by
Lyca.
The
script
work
of
the
film
has
been
going
on
briskly
for
the
past
few
months.
The
announcement
of
the
film
was
expected
to
be
made
on
Rajini's
birthday.
But
no
update
about
the
film
was
released
that
day.
In
this
case,
it
is
now
reported
that
Cibi
Chakaravarthi
is
not
directing
the
film.
After
DPS,
KS,
the
buzz
was
that
@pandiraj_dir
might
direct
#Thalaivar's
Next...
Now
it
seems
that
Comali
director
Pradeep
too
has
narrated
a
script
to
Thalaivar...
After
hearing
the
whole
story,
Rajinikanth
was
not
satisfied
with
it
and
reportedly
said
no
to
Cibi
Chakaravarthi.
Another
surprising
news
is
that
Rajinikanth
has
chosen
Pradeep
Ranganathan,
the
director
of
the
recently
released
blockbuster
hit
Love
Today,
instead
of
Cibi
Chakaravarthi
to
direct
the
film
Thalaivar
171.
It
is
well
known
that
Superstar
Rajinikanth's
movie
Baba
was
released
in
2002
and
did
not
get
the
expected
success.
In
this
situation,
Baba
movie
was
re-released
recently.
Rajini
fans
celebrated
and
enjoyed
the
re-release
in
many
screens.
Other
general
cinema
fans
did
not
support
this
movie.
The
hype
was
there
only
on
the
first
day
of
the
release.
That
too
with
Rajini
fans
only.
Though
there
are
some
changes
in
edit
from
the
previous
version
of
the
film,
no
theater
has
crossed
even
half
the
seats
since
the
second
day.
It
is
also
said
that
tickets
were
sold
only
in
single
digit
numbers
on
many
screens.
In
this
case,
according
to
Superstar
Rajinikanth's
horoscope,
his
next
film
is
likely
to
fail,
and
that
is
why
he
has
re-released
the
already
flop
film
Baba.
It
is
noteworthy
that
Rajini
has
great
faith
in
horoscopes
and
astrology.
Now
dropping
out
Cibi
Chakaravarthi
from
Thalaivar
171
is
being
appreciated
by
Rajinikanth
fans
in
social
media,
as
they
don't
want
the
combo
to
team
up.
Let's
wait
and
see
if
Pradeep
Ranganathan
delivers
a
power-packed
Superstar
film
as
his
hat
trick
block
buster
in
the
line
of
Comali
and
Love
Today.
