Kamal Haasan’s recent remarks on Sundar C’s controversial departure from Rajinikanth’s ‘Thalaivar 173’ have significant implications for the film’s future. According to Haasan, the split was not acrimonious — he cited “strategic realignment” rather than conflict, suggesting that the production team is taking this as an opportunity to re-evaluate its creative roadmap.
Haasan revealed that the producers are now exploring established and emerging directors to steer the film forward. He underscored their intention to retain the project’s original vision, while elevating its scale, narrative depth, and technical finesse.
In the short term, the change might delay certain aspects of the shoot, but Haasan remains optimistic that this shake-up could ultimately benefit ‘Thalaivar 173’ by infusing fresh ideas and renewed energy. For fans of Rajinikanth and Haasan alike, the message is clear: this film is not derailed — it’s evolving.
