Who will direct the highprofile Thalaivar 173 project. Fans are waiting eagerly for the Thalaivar 173 project to kickstart. Excitement and expectations are increasing as it reunites Super Star Rajinikanth and Universal Hero Kamal Haasan. The project stars Rajinikanth in the lead role while Kamal Haasan is bankrolling the project on his Raaj Kamal Films banner.

Fans got a huge shock when director C.Sundar backed off from the project citing personal reasons and from then on speculation is on as to who will direct the  highprofile project. Now reports are coming that the makers are considering either Nithilan Saminathan who stunned all with Vijay Sethupathi's Maharaja or Ramkumar Balakrishnan of Parking fame.

Discussions are still going on and sources reveal that the makers will finalise and announce the director on Rajinikanth's birthday which falls on 12 December.

It is known that apart from this project, Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth will be starring in a multi starrer and the director for the project is also yet to be finalised.
