Kamal Haasan, the producer of 'Thalaivar 173', has finally addressed the elephant in the room: director Sundar C.'s unexpected departure from the project. The film, which is being produced under Haasan's banner, Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), has everyone buzzing with excitement, especially since it marks the reunion of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan after a staggering 46 years!

"I'm an Investor.. I need to choose story which my star likes.. We'll keep on searching till we find the one he likes..🤝 We are also searching for another story to act together.. Expect the unexpected.."🔥
Haasan emphasized his role as a producer, stating that his primary responsibility is to find a story that resonates with Rajinikanth. He assured fans that they are actively searching for the perfect script, even hinting at the possibility of a younger director taking the helm.
And this is the part most people miss... Sundar C. also released a statement explaining his decision, expressing his deep respect for both Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, with whom he has a long history. He even directed Rajinikanth in 'Arunachalam' (1997) and Kamal Haasan in 'Anbe Sivam' (2003).
