In a surprising turn of events, filmmaker Sundar C has stepped down from directing Superstar Rajinikanth’s upcoming film, which was recently announced under Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International banner. The news has left fans shocked, as the project tentatively titled #Thalaivar173 was one of the most anticipated collaborations in recent times.

Confirming his exit, Sundar C released an official statement expressing his regret and gratitude. He wrote:

“It is with a heavy heart that I share some important news with you.

The director went on to express his deep respect for both legends:

“My association with these two icons goes back a long way, and I will always hold them in the highest regard. The special moments we have shared over the past few days will be cherished forever. They have taught me invaluable lessons, and I will continue to seek their inspiration and wisdom as I move forward.”

Sundar C further apologized for his decision, thanking Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, and the production team for their trust and support, adding that he hopes to collaborate with them again in the future.
