Thalaivar171: When Thalapathy Vijay motivated DOP Manoj to do the film!
In an interesting juncture, DOP Manoj Paramahamsa has revealed that it was Thalapathy Vijay who motivated him to do Thalaivar171 with Lokesh Kanagaraj and Superstar Rajinikanth. “Thalapathy Vijay heard the story of the film and he said that it was super cool and experimental, and that I should definitely do the film. He loved the technical advancements that the film had, and said that my support is a must for Lokesh to do this film,” said the cinematographer.
Though there’s fan-war going between the fans of these 2 stars, it is now clearly visible again that the bond and respect they both mutually share.
Thalaiver171 is all set to kick start by April 2024, once Superstar Rajinikanth completes his ongoing project Thalaivar170 which features Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Manju Warrier and others. The film directed by TJ Gnanavel has its music by Anirudh.
