Shruti Haasan in Talks for Thalaivar 171?

Superstar Rajinikanth's upcoming slate continues to generate excitement. While currently filming "Vettaiyan," directed by TJ Gnanavel, anticipation is building for Lokesh Kanagaraj's next project with Rajinikanth.

Reports suggest Shruti Haasan is in talks to play Rajinikanth's daughter in this action-packed thriller. Furthermore, rumors swirl around the potential inclusion of acclaimed actor Sathyaraj in a pivotal role. The film's plot is speculated to delve into the ruthless world of the gold smuggling mafia.

With the talented Anirudh Ravichander composing the music and the prestigious Sun Pictures bankrolling the project, filming is expected to commence soon, aiming for a year-end wrap.

Following "Thalaivar 171," Rajinikanth is slated to begin work on "Jailer 2" under the direction of Nelson. This sequel comes after the massive success of "Jailer," with reports suggesting Rajinikanth has commanded an increased fee for the follow-up film.
