Superstar Rajinikanth's new movie 'Thalaivar 169' was officially annouced last week bringing huge cheers to millions of his fans who were a tad disappointed with his last release 'Annaathe' directed by Siruthai Siva.

The reason for the frenzy is that 'Thalaivar 169' is directed by Nelson Dilipkumar the most sensational filmmaker around after the blockbuster success of 'Doctor' who is also awaiting the release of his next 'Beast' starring Thalapathy Vijay. Anirudh is scoring the music for the film and it is his consecutive fourth movie with Nelson.

Meanwhile there is a hot buzz in tinsel town that Sivakarthikeyan is likely to play an important role in 'Thalaivar 169'. It has been the younger generation actor's long time dream to share screen space with Rajini and since Nelson is his close friend it is a given that the chance wont be missed by him.

It is also said that Simbu, another hardcore fan of Rajinikanth is also likely to be a part of the film which may be a cameo appearance or singing a song. Simbu is also very close to Nelson right from his school days. We have to take these bits of info with a pinch of salt as it is too early for anything to be confirmed about 'Thalaivar 169' as of now.
