Could be a repeat of epic 1995 when Baasha (Pongal) & Muthu (Diwali) blasted the BO in the same year 👌🔥
Still very early days. Let's see 😎
Thalaivar 168 assumes significance as Sun Pictures and Rajinikanth are coming together after superhits such as Enthiran and Petta. Besides, director Siva has worked with Thala Ajith in films such as Viswasam and Vivegam. And both the films had set the cash registers ringing.
Sun Pictures posted on Twitter to say, "After the blockbuster hits Enthiran and Petta, the mega hit combo of Superstar @rajinikanth and @sunpictures come together for the third time for Thalaivar 168, Superstar’s next movie, directed by @directorsiva #Thalaivar168BySunPictures."
Coming back to Darbar, the film directed by AR Murugadoss, will see Rajinikanth playing a police officer after two decades. Rajini's role as a cop named Alex Pandian in the 1982 film Moondru Mugam is the most memorable.
