Sundar C Walks Out Of Rajinikanth And Kamal Haasan Project

In a surprising turn, director Sundar C has stepped away from directing Rajinikanth’s upcoming film, which is being produced by Kamal Haasan.

The director shared a note to announce his mind words just days after the movie tentatively titled #Thalaivar173 was revealed.

Sundar did not mention or openup why he decided to quit but said he would always value his past collaborations with Rajini and Kamal. He also apologized to everyone who was eagerly waiting for the project.

This unexpected move has left fans and movie lovers shocked as the film was announced only a week ago. Now everyone is curious to see who will take over as the new director of this much awaited big film.
