Rajini-Kamal’s Thalaivar 173 Music Director: Not Rahman, Not Anirudh… A Massive Surprise Twist Loading!

The most awaited combo in Indian cinema history – Superstar Rajinikanth and Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan – is finally happening with Thalaivar 173, produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International in association with Lyca Productions.

After the initial shock of Sundar C stepping down as director, reliable sources now confirm that National Award-winning filmmaker Ramkumar Balakrishnan (of Parking fame) has taken the helm. The official announcement, along with the complete cast and crew reveal, is expected on December 12, 2025. Sai Pallavi has reportedly been locked as the female lead opposite Rajinikanth for the first time, and the film is eyeing a grand Pongal 2027 release.

But the biggest buzz right now? The music director!

Everyone expected either A.R. Rahman or Anirudh Ravichander – the usual go-to names for Rajini and Kamal projects in recent years. However, in a complete shocker, the makers have reportedly finalised a sensational young composer who is neither of them! Industry insiders are tight-lipped about the name, but the choice is said to be a bold, fresh move that has left even hardcore fans stunned and curious.

With Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Sai Pallavi, and now this unexpected musical genius on board, Thalaivar 173 is shaping up to be a game-changer that could rewrite Tamil cinema history.

December 12 is going to be fireworks – mark the date, because the official reveal is about to drop a bomb!
