Superstar Rajinikanth‘s 170th film is going to be directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker TJ Gnanavel. The music for the film was composed by Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander. It is tentatively titled ‘Thalaivar 170’. The film was bankrolled by Subaskaran under the Lyca Productions banner. Thalaiavar 170 will hit the screens in 2024.

The film is said to be a true event-based story. In a recent interview, director Tha Se Gnanavel said that he will be making a biopic of Dosa king Jeevajothi Santhakumar’s life and his battle against a restaurant mogul. It is also said Superstar Rajinikanth is said to be playing the role of a cop in this film, which will be based on real-life incidents.
