Rajinikanth has wrapped up shooting for his daughter's Lal Salaam in which he has played an extended cameo. The release date of the project is yet to be announced. His movie with Lokesh, tentatively titled Thalaivar 171, is said to be going on floors from February 2024.

The film will mark the Superstar's fifth collaboration with Sun Pictures after Enthiran, Petta, Annaatthe and Jailer. Fans hope that the Rajini-Lokesh-Sun Pictures combination could generate bigger buzz than Leo which is currently the most-awaited Tamil film.
