Superstar Rajinikanth's new movie 'Thalaivar 168' produced by Sun Pictures and directed by Siruthai Siva went on floors today with the legend himself attending along with Khusbhu, Meena and others. The film also stars Keerthy Suresh, Soori, Prakash Raj and George Mariyaan with D. Imman's music, Vettri's cinematography and Ruben's editing.

The major portion of 'Thalaivar 168' is going to happen at the Ramoji Rao Film City in Hyderabad. Similarly, Thala Ajith's 'Valimai' directed by H. Vinod and produced by Boney Kapoor is also starting at the same venue from this week. It is common knowledge that Ajith and Rajini are close friends and are bound to meet during the shoot many times and spend quality time with each other after a long time.

Political rivals of Rajini in Tamil Nadu are said to be in a state of shock that the two most charismatic megastars with the biggest fan followings ever would be interacting and could make a deep impact in the future politics of the state. Political analysts are stating that all eyes will be on Hyderabad expectantly regarding the outcome of the meetings between Thala and Thalaivar.
