Superstar Rajinikanth's Darbar is the current talk of the town and the movie has been making waves right from the time it was announced. Directed by AR Murugadoss and bankrolled by Lyca Productions, this movie's shoot has completed and Superstar has also completed dubbing for his role. Post production is progressing fast and Darbar would be hitting the screens on January 9th, 2020, for Pongal. The buzz has already begun building up for Rajinikanth's next movie, which has been titled Thalaivar 168 for now! Siruthai Siva is directing this movie for the Sun Pictures banner and we now have an exciting update from this movie's team!

Thalaivar 168's makers Sun Pictures have posted an update on their Twitter handle that actor Soori has now joined the cast of this project! Earlier, it was announced that D Imman had been roped in to score the music of this movie. However, the speculations over who would be playing the lady lead have been raging for quite some time. There are strong rumours that Keerthy Suresh and Jyothika would be acting alongside Rajinikanth in Thalaivar 168. However, we have information from our sources close to this movie's team that evergreen diva Khushbu would be pairing up with Rajini, after 27 years!

Earlier, Khushbu and Rajinikanth have worked together in 5 movies and their last movie together was Pandian, which was also incidentally the last time that Rajinikanth sported the Khaki uniform of a Policeman! We hear reports that the shoot of this movie would go on floors from mid-December. Thalaivar 168 is touted to be a rural family entertainer with something for all kinds of audiences! Stay tuned...
