Okay,so internet is going completely crazy over #Thalaivar173 rn . The latest rumor is all about director Ashwath Marimuthu . And it looks like this one might actually be true.
It all started when Raaj Kamal Films International,which is Kamal Haasan's production house,put up a birthday post for Ashwath on June 2 . And tbh,it was not just any normal birthday wish .
The post had this video with super high-energy lyrics,phrases like "Hit 'em up" and "give them a fun ride" . Fans immediately started thinking this is hint about the film's style .
But you have to remember,this project has seen so much change already . First it was veteran director Sundar C who was supposed to direct what he called a magnum opus . But then he left,saying something about unforeseen circumstances and a divergence from his professional path .
After him,there was talk of Cibi Chakravarthy for a short time,but that also didn't happen.
And honestly,this is where things get so confusing for fans .
This whole director situation has been a real drama from start only .
Few things standing out clearly right now:
- Director Ashwath Marimuthu — filmmaker celebrated his birthday amid intense rumors of his collaboration with Rajinikanth
- Sundar C's departure — The veteran director stepped back from the project despite calling it a dream come true
- RKFI production — Kamal Haasan’s firm is backing this high-stakes film which has faced multiple directorial shifts
This whole thing is so big because it's bringing Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan together under one banner . Even Sundar C said his time working on the pre-production was an invaluable lesson.
If Ashwath Marimuthu is confirmed,the pressure on him will be something else ah . He has to deliver movie with so much fan expectation behind it.
So right now the whole Tamil film industry is just waiting . Waiting for that one official statement from makers of #Thalaivar173 to make it all real…
