The ongoing developments around Thalaivar 173, starring Rajinikanth, continue to raise eyebrows, with back-to-back twists emerging as a worrying sign for the project. What was initially expected to be a smooth, high-profile venture has instead been caught in a cycle of uncertainty, particularly regarding its director.
After multiple reported changes from Sundar C to Cibi Chakravarthi, and now strong buzz around Ashwath Marimuthu stepping in, the lack of clarity has started to impact the film’s perception. While reports suggest that the issue may finally be resolved, the constant reshuffling has not gone unnoticed.
Trade observers feel that such mixed signals and frequent media leaks from the Tamil film circuit could dent the film’s initial buzz. For a project of this scale, consistency in communication plays a crucial role in maintaining audience excitement, and the current scenario seems to be doing the opposite.
Now, news has emerged that Cibi has bagged the project finally as Rajinikanth is happy with his narration and has okayed the young director. With speculation growing by the day, there is increasing pressure on the makers to step in and provide an official clarification.
An official clarification regarding the director and production status could help stabilize the narrative and restore confidence among fans and the trade alike. Watch this space for more updates.
