Seven Screen Studio is set to bankroll 'Thalaivar 172 while the Jailer makers Sun Pictures are coming back to produce 'Thalaivar 173'.
A source said, After Maamannan's release, Rajini met Mari Selvaraj and was impressed by his work. At this point, the actor received a one-liner pitch from the director. The project was locked after Thalaivar was impressed with the bound script. These projects will have an official announcement later this year.
