    Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagraj unveiled Rajinikanth's first look from their upcoming film, ‘Thalaivar 171’. In the new poster, the megastar can be seen looking rugged and stylish, with handcuffs made out of gold watches. He also sports gold sunglasses against a backdrop resembling the inner workings of a watch.

    Lokesh took to X to announce that the film’s title will be revealed on April 22. Sharing the poster, he wrote, ‘Thalaivar 171 title reveal on April 22.’

    Fans speculated whether Suriya's character ‘Rolex’ would appear in the film since the handcuffs are watch-themed.

    ‘ROLEX APPAN AH IRKUMOOO (Will it feature Rolex?)’ a fan wondered. ‘Rolex Dady is coming.. #Thalaivar171 ,’ added another. ‘Is Loki saying #Thalaivar171 is ROLEX ka BAAP,’ a third fan speculated.

    While details are awaited, the poster suggests a theme of time and gold. The film's pre-production is ongoing, set to commence filming later this year.

While Sivakarthikeyan is rumoured to have a significant role, the rest of the cast and crew remain undisclosed. Anirudh Ravichander and stunt duo Anbariv are confirmed onboard, as indicated by the new poster.

    Lokesh Kanagaraj revealed that Rajinikanth was closely involved in monitoring the progress of the film, detecting any alterations despite efforts to maintain secrecy.

Rajinikanth expressed excitement about the intriguing script and his exploration of a new genre as a director.
