Lokesh Kanagaraj is like the directorial maestro orchestrating a blockbuster symphony—first with Kamal Haasan and Thalapathy Vijay, now gearing up for a cinematic crescendo with Rajinikanth in Thalaivar 171. Reports have it, he might sprinkle a dash of Bollywood magic for an extended cameo—because when Lokesh directs, it’s not just a film, it’s a star-studded spectacle!
In a dazzling twist unveiled by Pinkvilla, Lokesh Kanagaraj orchestrated a cinematic tango with none other than Shah Rukh Khan for Thalaivar 171. Lokesh’s script got SRK’s nod of approval and a respectful declination—King Khan gracefully bowed out, attributing his decision to a quest for exclusive standalone film ventures after cameo stints in ‘Brahmastra,’ ‘Rocketry,’ and ‘Tiger 3.’ Intriguingly, SRK hinted at a spotlight reserved for his daughter, Suhana Khan’s theatrical debut, ‘The King’ with Sujoy Ghosh. Lokesh Kanagaraj, after Shah Rukh Khan politely declined, turned to Bollywood dynamo Ranveer Singh for Thalaivar 171. Lokesh pitched the script, and Ranveer, captivated by the storyline, eagerly agreed to be part of the blockbuster.
I’m absolutely thrilled about Ranveer Singh’s role in Thalaivar 171 and can’t wait to know more about this film and its cameo!
