Lokesh Kanagaraj unveiled the first-look poster for Rajinikanth's "Thalaivar 171." Rather than building hype beforehand, the makers chose to keep it low-key, which paid off as the poster reveal came as a surprise to everyone.
The poster showcases Rajinikanth in a denim shirt against a monochrome backdrop, with only a chain of wristwatches adding color. A clock is visible behind the actor, raising speculation about the possibility of "Thalaivar 171" being a time-travel movie. The presence of watches has sparked fan theories suggesting a potential connection to Suriya's Rolex character.
Conversations about Lokesh Kanagaraj's films are unavoidable, given the director's association with world-building in Tamil cinema. Alongside unveiling the poster, Kanagaraj also revealed that the film's title will be disclosed on April 22nd.
While the rest of the cast for "Thalaivar 171" remains undisclosed, Anirudh Ravichander, known for his recent collaborations with Rajinikanth, reunites with him for this project. Additionally, action choreographers Anbu-Arivu are onboard for the movie, produced by Sun Pictures.
