Official: Thalaivar 168 titled as Annaatthe

The makers of Rajinikanth’s new film has given a surprise update. The film which was tentatively titled as ‘Thalaivar 168’ has now got an official title – ‘Annaathe’. Sun Pictures tweeted the title just a while back through their Twitter handle. Written and directed by Siva, this film is touted to be a rural-based mass entertainer.

Along with Rajinikanth, the film also has four heroines as part of the cast. Veterans Meena and Khushbu were the first to join the team. Later, Keerthy Suresh’s name got announced. Nayanthara was the most recent to join the team. She is playing a lawyer’s role in the film. While it is still not known who plays Rajinikanth’s pair, we hear that all four of them will have strong characters to play.

‘Annatthe’ is expected to be an out and out entertainer on the lines of director Siva’s last film, ‘Viswasam’, which was a huge blockbuster. Even the technical team of ‘Viswasam’ comprising of DOP Vetri, music director Imman and editor Ruben have been retained as such. Actors like Prakash Raj, Soori and Sathish are also part of the supporting cast.
