Director Exits Superstar’s Project Days After Announcement

In a shocking move, filmmaker Sundar C exited from the directorial duties of Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming project, which will be bankrolled by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International. Sundar C mentioned that he decided to leave the project due to unavoidable circumstances, leaving fans shocked.

Sundar C penned an official note announcing his departure from the project. He wrote, “It is with a heavy heart that I share some important news with you. Due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, I have made the difficult decision to step back from the prestigious project, #Thalaivar173. In life, there are moments when we must follow the path laid out for us, even if it diverges from our dreams. My association with these two icons goes back a long way, and I will always hold them in the highest regard. The special moments we have shared over the past few days will be cherished forever by me. They have taught me invaluable lessons, and I will continue to seek their inspiration and wisdom as I move forward.”

“Although I am stepping away from this opportunity, I shall continue to seek their expert guidance. I thank both of them from the bottom of my heart for considering me for this magnum opus,” he went on to add. Sundar C went on to apologise for the decision and thanked everyone for the support.

Meanwhile, the internet started speculating reasons behind his sudden exit from the project. It is being rumoured that plot changes or budget issues might be the major reason. But if that is the reason, he might not exit the film just days after its announcement. Anyway, fans are now awaiting the announcement of a new director for this project.
