The project is now called Thalaivar 173. For many months, there were talks about who would direct this film. Many big names were linked to it.Now it is final that Ashwath Marimuthu will direct. He is known for the hit film Oh My Kadavule and Dragon. Both Rajini and Kamal liked his story and gave him the job. Fans are very excited because two legends are coming together after many years.Ashwath Marimuthu was earlier set to do a film for AGS Entertainment. But Rajinikanth really liked the commercial script Ashwath narrated. So on Rajini’s request, AGS gave a no objection letter and cancelled that deal. This cleared the way for Ashwath to direct Thalaivar 173. Sources say the story is full of mass moments and strong emotions that suit Rajini’s style.Director Ashwath is now busy giving final touches to the script. Pre production work is going on at full speed. The team wants to make this a big pan India film. The plan is to start shooting in July 2026. The makers want to release the film for Sankranthi 2027.

&nbsp;&nbsp;There is big talk in Tollywood about who will give music for Balakrishna’s next film with Koratala Siva. The movie is called NBK112 and it was announced recently. In the last few years, Thaman has been the main music director for Balakrishna films. He gave hit songs and strong background scores for Akhanda, Veera Simha Reddy, Bhagavanth Kesari, Daaku Maharaj and Akhanda 2.Thaman is also doing Balakrishna’s current film with Gopichand Malineni. Fans love this combo because Thaman understands Balakrishna’s mass image very well. That is why many people feel Thaman should continue for NBK112 too. But Koratala Siva has never worked with Thaman before. For his first four films Mirchi, Srimanthudu, Janatha Garage, and Bharat Ane Nenu, he picked Devi Sri Prasad.For Acharya he went with Mani Sharma, and for Devara he chose Anirudh Ravichander. So the director usually has his own music choices. Now the team has to decide if they will go with Balakrishna’s favorite Thaman or stick to Koratala’s past partners. Right now, going back to Mani Sharma looks difficult. Anirudh is also busy with many big films and charges very high fees, so he may not be free.That leaves two main names on the table, Thaman and DSP. If Koratala picks Thaman, it will be their first film together and Balakrishna’s hit track record with him will continue. If he picks DSP, fans can expect strong mass songs like before. There is also a small chance the makers may surprise everyone with a new composer, but that looks unlikely for such a big film. The official announcement on the music director is still pending. Trade circles say the team will lock it soon after the script work is done.

Thalapathy Vijay's juggernaut steamrolled the two Dravidian Parties DMK and AIADMK and at one stage it looked like his TVK will get a simple majority.Even before the counting concluded many hailed Vijay and compared him with legends like MGR and NTR. But his party for all its stupendous performance fell short of ten seats for simple majority.Now all eyes are on as to which parties will support Vijay and whose support he will take. During the election campaigning Vijay attacked both DMK and AIADMK. Now Congress and PMK offered support to Vijay but they are seeking two ministries each in return. Still Vijay will fall short of two seats.Vijay before the elections meet Rahul Gandhi and offered to have pre poll alliance but Congress chose to go with DMK. He can't seek DMK support and. BJP has only 1 member. He can enter into alliance with AIADMK, and as BJP is ruling the centre he will be free from all troubles. However if he goes with Congress, trouble may haunt him.Comparing Vijay's victory with that of MGR and NTR is belittling the legends. The political situation then was different to that of now. &nbsp;Tamil Nadu had a void and people started looking for alternative and he made use of it. None of these celebrities dared to enter politics in Tamil Nadu even Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa were calling the shots. MGR with his glamour and Dravidian ideology launched ADMK and NTR created a sensation with his TDP coming to power with in 9 months of launching the party. Vijay despite the void failed to get even the simple majority. With the incomplete verdict, Vijay's future is not all rosy but will be full of dangerous thorns. His TVK has no political ideology and till now he didn't place his plans infront of the people. He banked only on film dialogues and his glamour. MGR, NTR launched many pro poor schemes and they included 2kg rice for the poor and mid day meals.Vijay has lot to prove himself before taking a place on the side of the legends. He should ensure these he gives five years of good governance to the people of Tamil Nadu.

All is not Rosy for Vijay

Vijay Victory Halted, Who gets it Started

How Vijay achieved where Kamal, Rajini failed. One cannot seperate politics and films in south states especially in Tamil Nadu. MGR, Jayalalithaa, Karunanidhi after attaining stardom in films created a sensation in politics. Even as them many stars entered politics but only MGR launched his own party, went into the public and came to power.&nbsp; After these stalwarts, actors like Shivaji Ganesan, Vijaykanth, Sarath Kumar, Kamal Haasan launched their own parties but disappeared as quickly as they came. Rajinikanth thought about politics for many decades and at the last minute couldn't muster the courage to take a plunge.However, Vijay succeeded where these stars failed. Vijay had a perfect plan and started expanding his network for the last ten years ago and began expressing his voice over state and central governments policies. He has more then 85000 fans associations throughout the stage and they operated like a political party and took up social service activities.They have their presence felt in the local elections winning 129/169 seats they contested in 2021 and this boosted the confidence of Vijay. &nbsp;Vijay had age in his side as he is just 51 compared to Rajinikanth's 70 plus and Kamal Haasan 's 65 plus. More then 2 crs voters in the age group of under 40 voted for Vijay. He emerged successful that TVK is seperate from Dravidian parties DMK, AIADMK. &nbsp;Kamal and Rajini didn't dare to do it. Vijay with his attacks on DMK and AIADMK impressed up on people that his party is different and he had nothing to do with those parties.To the top of it, Vijay made it clear that he will not do films once he ends politics and this connected chords with the people who are looking for a young and dynamic full time politician as an alternative.&nbsp;
