Currently, he is working on a standalone film, Thalaivar 171, with Superstar Rajnikanth with massive concept.

The movie, based on gold smuggling, has already generated immense buzz.

The title reveal is expected on Monday, and fans are eagerly waiting.

King Nagarjuna might join the cast in a pivotal role. Apparently, Lokesh Kanagaraj has already discussed the project with Nagarjuna.

While there’s no official confirmation yet, the possibility of these two legends sharing the screen has fans excited.

[{"selector":"#anim-0fd1763c-fd67-4654-a708-edf2c582a7d8","keyframes":[{"transform":"rotate(-540deg) scale(0.1)","opacity":0},{"transform":"none","opacity":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-7ea395c8-048b-467b-9448-b5c7957f0ee0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Nagarjuna is currently busy with Sekhar Kammula‘s Kubera, so we’ll have to wait and see if he joins Thalaivar 171.

[{"selector":"#anim-e023f20b-1d73-40e7-923b-0b5084591c55","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(98.82076%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-33ebfc74-763e-4df1-8149-27022ff3a390","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f72b0db6-29e4-4ac6-aac8-289f3ebdec98 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0, -7.264956746328101%, 0)","translate3d(0, 0%, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

If he does, it will be a visual spectacle for fans.

[{"selector":"#anim-bfc012ce-a66f-4b3b-8cdf-a57e6fb1c147","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.5)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.95)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] [{"selector":"#anim-f2c17b37-16ba-45a1-b549-83c5a277d0a5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(49.45353596092469%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction and the combined star power of Rajnikanth and Nagarjuna would make for a movie experience like no other.
