Superstar Rajinikanth is fresh from the success of Petta, that released for the Pongal weekend. The film was directed by Karthik Subbaraj and produced by Kalanithi Maran under the banner Sun Pictures. Apart from the Superstar, it had Vijay Sethupathi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Simran, Trisha, Bobby Simha, Megha Akash, Malavika Mohanan, Sananth and others playing crucial roles.
It was announced that he will be working with AR Murugadoss for his next film, which will be bankrolled by Subaskaran under the banner Lyca Productions. This film was tentatively titled as 'Thalaivar 167' will have Nayanthara as the female lead. Anirudh joins hands with Thalaivar once again after Petta, while Santosh Sivan will be cranking the camera.
The makers have just released the first look and title of the film, on their Twitter handle. The film will be called Darbar. Darbar refers to the court of a king or a ruler, so there is a chance that the film could be dealing with politics. Here is the tweet from Lyca:
