Following the failure of Coolie, Rajinikanth completed the shooting for his next film, which is his most anticipated sequel Jailer 2 directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. Currently, the post-production work for this film is happening in full swing and the Jailer 2 team is aiming for an October release.
After Jailer 2, Rajinikanth took a short break and went to Ooty. Now, according to strong speculations, the actor is back to business and has completed the photoshoot for his next film, tentatively titled Thalaivar 173, which is being helmed by Ashwath Marimuthu.
Furthermore, there is information that Rajinikanth is acting in the role of a doctor in this film and the look for the actor has been locked after the photoshoot. The shooting for this film is going to begin next month, and the official announcement regarding Ashwath Marimuthu’s appointment to this project is expected soon. If this speculation proves true, it could be one of the rarest films in which Rajinikanth is seen portraying a doctor on screen.
However, this speculation has already gone viral and is triggering huge hype among audiences. Many people on social media have already started cooking up theories with this speculation and are eagerly awaiting witnessing what Ashwath Marimuthu is going to deliver with Rajinikanth playing the role of a doctor.
Meanwhile, some people are afraid of this speculation because, for the last few years, Rajinikanth has only been acting as either a don or a cop. Consequently, he has been registered as a don or cop in the minds of Kollywood audiences. Therefore, they claim that this sudden character change for Rajinikanth might carry the risk of not connecting with the audience.
Ultimately, all these are just social media speculations and there are still no official updates on the Thalaivar 173 film. Hence, it remains to be seen whether Rajinikanth is really playing the character of a doctor in the film and if he does, how the film will take shape in the future.
