According to a report in Valai Pechu, Rajinikanth is planning to collaborate with his daughter Soundarya Rajinikanth on his farewell film. However, the superstar has not yet decided which project will mark the end of his cinematic career.
The report further suggests that he may be seen in a few more films after Thalaivar173 with director Siby Chakraborty and the tentatively titled Thalaivar174xKH238, which is expected to co-star Kamal Haasan. At present, these are just rumors and an official decision is yet to be taken.
Rajinikanth’s work front
Rajinikanth will be seen in the lead role in Jailer 2 directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The film will see Mohanlal and Shiv Rajkumar reprising their roles and will also star Vidya Balan and Mithun Chakraborty in important roles.
In an earlier interview, Mithun Chakraborty had hinted that the film may include a cameo appearance by Shah Rukh Khan. However, the makers have not released any official confirmation yet. Additionally, actress Nora Fatehi is expected to feature in a special dance number.
Although the release date has not been announced yet, the makers are reportedly aiming for a mid-2026 release.
Looking ahead, Rajinikanth is expected to begin work on a film tentatively titled Thalaivar173. The project is co-produced by Kamal Haasan under the banner of Raaj Kamal Films International and directed by Siby Chakraborty, known for Don. The upcoming film is touted to be an action drama, with the superstar reportedly playing the role of a tailor.
Initially, the project was announced to be led by director Sundar C. However, due to prior commitments, the filmmaker later refused to do so.
After this, it is expected that Rajinikanth will work with Kamal Haasan on the big screen. The film is reportedly being directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and is said to be a slice-of-life drama centered on the story of two friends.
