Lokesh Kanagaraj, a leading director in South Indian cinema, has seen his popularity soar in recent times. The critical and commercial success of films like “Khaidi” and “Vikram” catapulted him to stardom. His latest release, “Leo,” despite its flaws, garnered immense hype due to its star power and Kanagaraj’s reputation, ultimately becoming a box office success.
Kanagaraj’s upcoming project has audiences buzzing with excitement. He is set to direct none other than the legendary Rajinikanth in a film tentatively titled “#Rajni171.” The first-look poster sent social media into a frenzy, and the official title reveal is highly anticipated.
Sources report that Kanagaraj, while known for his own unique style, often draws inspiration from Hollywood films. For “Leo,” he was heavily influenced by “A History of Violence.” Similarly, “#Rajni171” is said to be inspired by the 2013 Hollywood film “The Purge.” The core plot of “The Purge” revolves around a 12-hour period where all crime is legal, and law enforcement is unavailable. The story follows a protagonist’s fight to protect his family during this lawless time.
Kanagaraj is known for adapting Hollywood concepts for Indian audiences, and “#Rajni171” is no exception. Reports suggest that he will incorporate a gold smuggling storyline to add a layer of intrigue specific to the Indian context. The film will feature music by the acclaimed Anirudh Ravichander. With a tight production schedule targeting completion within four months, the project promises a fast-paced filmmaking journey.
Adding another layer of intrigue to the project is the rumor of Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh playing a pivotal role. While Shah Rukh Khan was reportedly the initial choice, he opted for a full-fledged role elsewhere. The prospect of Ranveer Singh sharing screen space with Rajinikanth in a Lokesh Kanagaraj film is a unique proposition that has generated considerable excitement amongst fans. With a talented director, a legendary actor, and a potentially powerful performance from Ranveer Singh, “#Rajni171” is poised to be a major motion picture event.
