Following the failure of Coolie, Rajinikanth is currently working on the much-anticipated sequel Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. In addition, it was recently confirmed that his 173rd film will be directed by Cibi Chakaravarthy.
Amid this, strong speculation suggests that Rajinikanth may appear in a completely new look in Thalaivar 173. Reports indicate that Cibi Chakaravarthy has worked closely with a designer to create multiple styling options.
It is said that over 83 different looks were designed for the actor. Out of these, three have been shortlisted and will be presented to Rajinikanth, who will take the final call on his appearance.
In recent years, Rajinikanth has largely maintained a similar look across his films. Only minor variations have been seen, making this potential change an interesting development for fans.
Many on social media feel that this could be a smart move. They believe a fresh look may bring a new dimension to Rajinikanth’s screen presence and offer a different experience of his signature style.
At the same time, some fans are cautious about this change. They feel his current look has become familiar and well-accepted, making any major alteration a possible risk.
There are concerns that a drastic transformation might not connect with audiences. If not executed well, it could lead to criticism despite the intention to present something new.
However, these discussions are based purely on speculation. There has been no official confirmation regarding Rajinikanth’s look in Thalaivar 173 so far.
It remains to be seen how Cibi Chakaravarthy plans to present the actor. The final outcome will depend on whether the new look meets audience expectations.
