Rajinikanth's 'Thalaivar 173' tipped for Hollywood remake

Superstar Rajinikanth is set to star in 'Thalaivar 173,' a project that has ignited considerable anticipation. Recent reports suggest the film might be inspired by the critically acclaimed 2022 Hollywood psychological crime thriller, 'The Outfit.' This potential remake could see Rajinikanth portraying a tailor, a departure into a more grounded, layman character.

'The Outfit,' helmed by Academy Award-winning writer Graham Moore, stars Mark Rylance and follows an expert tailor navigating a dangerous night with mobsters. The film received a 4-star rating from TOI for its suspenseful atmosphere and theatrical, yet engaging, tone. Initially, director Sundar C was attached to 'Thalaivar 173,' but Cibi Chakravarthy is now directing the film.

Produced by Kamal Haasan's production house with music composed by Anirudh, 'Thalaivar 173' is being eyed for a Pongal 2027 release. This projected release date places the film firmly in the future relative to the current date.
