Ranveer Singh to join Thalaivar Rajinikanth's next big project?

After the success of his 2023 hit "Jailer," superstar Rajinikanth is set for another blockbuster collaboration, this time with acclaimed director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Adding to the buzz, rumours hint at Bollywood powerhouse Ranveer Singh joining the project.

Reports suggest that Ranveer Singh has been approached for a pivotal role in Thalaivar's upcoming film, rumoured to be a gripping gangster drama showcasing Rajinikanth in a new light. However, official confirmations from the makers or cast members are awaited.

If the speculations hold true, it presents a significant opportunity for Singh to showcase his talent on a grand Pan-Indian stage alongside the iconic Thalaivar. Meanwhile, anticipation mounts as the first poster look of Thalaivar 171, featuring Rajinikanth in a massy avatar, sets the stage for the unveiling of the project's title on April 22, 2024.

Directed and written by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film is bankrolled by Kalanithi Maran under the banner of Sun Pictures.

In parallel, Rajinikanth is immersed in the shooting of his next venture, "Vettaiyan," helmed by T J Gnanavel, featuring a star-studded cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, and others. Described as an action drama, "Vettaiyan" sees Rajinikanth essaying the role of a retired police officer.

Amidst his busy schedule, speculations arise about Rajinikanth reuniting with director Nelson for a sequel to the 2023 blockbuster "Jailer."

On the other hand, Ranveer Singh gears up for his upcoming projects, including "Singham Again," the third installment of the Singham franchise, and Farhan Akhtar's "Don 3," where he essays the iconic role of Don opposite Kiara Advani.
