On the other hand, the development process has undergone some changes regarding the director. These developments have kept fans curious about who will finally helm this big-budget venture.
‘Thalaivar 173’ director changes create confusion; Cibi Chakravarthi enters the picture
Initially, director Sundar C. was officially announced to direct the film. But he later stepped away from the project for reasons that are still unknown. After this, Cibi Chakravarthi, who delivered the hit film ‘Don,’ was officially announced to take over as director. Cibi Chakravarthi even began working on the project and was said to be actively involved in pre-production. His inclusion raised expectations that he would inject new energy into the project.
Cibi Chakravarthy ’s second chance: Not out, but reworking the script
As shooting preparations were on, reports started doing the rounds that Cibi Chakravarthi had also exited the film. However, another update suggested a different story. According to The Hindu, Rajinikanth asked for certain changes in the script, and Cibi Chakravarthi is currently working on those revisions. At the same time, reports also mentioned that Ashwath Marimuthu is being considered as an option, adding to the confusion. Still, Cibi’s continued involvement hints that he is getting another opportunity to prove himself on a big stage.
Kamal Haasan backs Cibi with a new opportunity amid uncertainty
Even if a final decision favors another director, Kamal Haasan is said to be keen on supporting Cibi Chakravarthi. He reportedly does not want to drop Cibi Chakravarthi after months of effort and may offer him a separate film under his production house. This move is seen as a strong sign of encouragement for young talent in the industry. Awaiting confirmation news on the director position for ‘Thalaivar 173,’ Cibi Chakravarthi’s adventure proves he’s still alive and kicking and prepared for a second shot at the game.
