The makers of Rajinikanth's highly-anticipated film, presently referred to as 'Thalaivar 170', have a special surprise in store for fans on the occasion of his birthday (December 12). They will unveil the official title of the movie and release a special birthday teaser at 5 pm.

This sneak peek will offer a first glimpse into Rajinikanth's upcoming film, treating eager fans to a preview of 'Thalaivar 170'. The dual-title and teaser reveal on the star's birthday serve as a fitting strategy to generate excitement around the project while paying tribute to Rajinikanth.

In the announcement of the title teaser release, the makers stated, "Let the celebrations begin for Thalaivar's B'day. Witness the grand reveal of #Thalaivar170 title along with the B'day teaser video tomorrow at 5 PM!"

Directed by TJ Gnanavel, the currently untitled film features Rajinikanth in the role of a retired Muslim police officer reopening a case to seek justice. The movie has been Thiruvananthapuram, Tirunelveli, and Mumbai.

Apart from Rajinikanth, the movie also has Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, Rithika Singh, Manju Warrier, and Dussara Vijayan in prominent roles.

Months ago, images of Rajinikanth and Amitabh Bachchan during the latter's Mumbai scene went viral, creating anticipation for the reunion of two Indian cinema legends on the big screen.

After this flick, Rajinikanth will collaborate with director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for hits like 'Master' and 'Vikram'. Despite being part of Lokesh's shared cinematic universe, 'Thalaivar 171' will be a standalone film unrelated to the interconnected LCU storyline.

The Sun Pictures-funded film has Raghava Lawrence in the negative role.
