With Leo, Lokesh Kanagaraj scored one more blockbuster, but the movie disappointed a section of the audience due to its content. Mainly, the flashback portions were criticized. Hence, the director is taking more care for his next project, which is with Superstar Rajinikanth.

In a recent interview, Lokesh Kanagaraj said that the movie with Rajinikanth will be a high-octane action entertainer. He further stated he is trying something new with the project. Lokesh Kanagaraj revealed that Rajinikanth hugged him after the narration and added that the actor is very excited to kickstart the project.

Thalaivar 171 is a standalone film, and it is not part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Sun Pictures will be bankrolling this big-budget flick, and its tunes will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Anbariv will compose the action sequences. More updates will be out in the coming days.
