Robo was the last film of eternal beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan down south and after over a decade she is returning to the south cinema and that too with a Rajinikanth film. Yes, Aishwarya has been signed as the female lead opposite Rajini in his 169th film.
‘Beast’ director Nelson Dilip Kumar will be directing the movie. There were rumours that Rajini had a second thought on working with Nelson after the disastrous result of ‘Beast’ in April. The rumours were settled with both the director and hero updating their Twitter bio without reacting to them.
#Thalaivar169 will also have Ramya Krishnan and ‘Gangleader’ beauty Priyanka Arul Mohanin pivotal roles. Ramya Krishnan and Aishwarya will definitely ignite the silver screen because they are a powerhouse of a talent.
Also director KS Ravi Kumar is said to be assisting director Nelson with the script work and if all things fall in place, the shooting will commence in August.
It’s an Anirudh’s musical and Sun Pictures production.
