The much-anticipated collaboration between iconic actors Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan has garnered widespread attention and excitement, especially with their reunion after 33 years for the shooting of the highly anticipated film “Thalaivar 170.” Following the conclusion of the initial schedules in Mumbai, the team recently wrapped up filming and Rajnikanth returned to Chennai, marking a brief hiatus for the festive occasion of Diwali.

While speculation arose about the possibility of the team returning to Kerala, where the first leg of the shooting took place, insiders have clarified that the subsequent filming will resume in Chennai, commencing on November 13 and continuing for a duration of 20 days. It has been confirmed that Amitabh Bachchan, who played a significant part in the Mumbai shoot, will not be joining the team in Chennai during this phase, with the focus remaining on Rajinikanth and the rest of the ensemble, including Faahad Faasil and Rana Naidu.

However, sources suggest that Amitabh Bachchan is scheduled to rejoin the cast for an additional 10-day stint in Chennai, indicating his continued involvement in the project and his enthusiasm for the ongoing collaboration. With the actors’ combined star power and the anticipation surrounding their on-screen synergy, the filming process for “Thalaivar 170” continues to generate widespread curiosity and anticipation within the film industry and among the dedicated fan bases of both Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan.

Earlier insights into the film’s theme have shed light on its exploration of the prevailing challenges within the education system, highlighting the detrimental effects of corruption and commercialization on the accessibility and quality of education for the common populace. With its overarching social commentary and the involvement of two legendary actors, “Thalaivar 170” is poised to deliver a thought-provoking narrative that resonates with contemporary societal issues, underscoring the film’s potential to captivate audiences on a global scale.
