Ranveer Singh to make his south film debut with superstar Rajinikanth in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Thalaivar 171?

Thalaivar 171, Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's action film, could mark Ranveer Singh's south film debut. The trend of Bollywood and South film actors co-starring in a film is scaling new heights, with recent example like Nayanthara and Shah Rukh Khan in Atlee's Jawaan, and Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi in Merry Christmas directed by Sriram Raghavan.

Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh could be cast in Rajinikanth starrer Thalaivar 171, which is expected to get its official title on April 22.

Tamil superstar Rajinikanth is teaming up with director Lokesh Kanagaraj for a highly anticipated movie currently known as 'Thalaivar 171'. This movie is buzzing in the movie world because it's expected to show Rajinikanth in a brand-new avatar. The big news now is that Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh might join the movie, making this his first Tamil film. This has gotten a lot of people talking, but Ranveer hasn't said anything about it yet.

'Thalaivar 171' is expected to be a gangster movie and will be released in different languages. Having Ranveer Singh in the movie could make more people in other parts of India interested in watching it. For Ranveer, acting alongside Rajinikanth could be a big deal because it could introduce him to new fans in the south of India.

In 'Thalaivar 171', Rajinikanth is rumored to play a don, which means his character might be a bit on the darker side. There's talk that the movie will involve gold smuggling and it's supposed to be a standalone film, not connected to Lokesh Kanagaraj's other movies. The film's producers are planning to announce the official title on April 22.

Last year, Rajinikanth had a hit movie called 'Jailer', where he played a former police officer. The movie was a big deal and featured other famous actors like Shiva Rajkumar, Mohanlal, Jackie Shroff, and others. Rajinikanth was also in 'Lal Salaam', which didn't do well at the box office. He's also working on another movie called 'Vettaiyan', which includes stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Rana Daggubati. This movie is expected to be released later this year.
