A source has revealed that Shivarajkumar joined the crew on Monday and will spend the next two days filming alongside Rajinikanth.

Sources indicate that in "Thalaivar 171," however, he will play a more profound character which will be so massive they will give his admirers the chills.

The latest speculative sources claims that  Rajinikanth's Jailer would face off against Indian 2, which had already sparked excitement following the viewing of Thunivu and Varisu at the beginning of 2023.

Bankrolled by Sun Pictures "Jailer" also has music composed by Anirudh who also handles the scores for Indian 2.

The notice, that came from the actor's advocate S Elambharathi, warned of legal action against those who are exploiting any unique elements of the actor's personality.

The plot of Jailer involves an inmate gang trying to free their leader from prison, only to have the jailer put on quite the show in order to prevent their escape.

"Viewing my older films will give you insight into who I was before and after I tied the knot,"

Reportedly, the makers also have been in talks with a reputable Bollywood actor about making a cameo appearance in the film.

Reports state that while in Hyderabad filming Jailer, Rajinikanth met with Chandrababu Naidu at the latter's home in Jubilee Hills.

After wrapping up production on Jailer, rumour has it that Rajinikanth has already signed on to star in two more films for Lyca productions.
