Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachchan and superstar Rajinikanth are reuniting after 33 years for their upcoming film, Thalaivar 170. To announce the news, the Jailer actor took to social media to share a picture of himself with his "mentor," Big B, from the film's sets.
Rajinikanth wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "After 33 years, I am working again with my mentor, the phenomenon, Shri Amitabh Bachchan in the upcoming Lyca’s "Thalaivar 170" directed by T.J Gnanavel. My heart is thumping with joy! #Thalaivar170."

Thalaivar 170 will be directed by TJ Gnanavel, who previously helmed Jai Bhim. Lyca Productions announced the news of Big B's addition to the project earlier this month. The film also stars Fahadh Faasil, Rana Daggubati, Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier, and Dushara Vijayan in pivotal roles.
Jawan fame Anirudh Ravichander will compose music for the Tamil film. Thalaivar 170 will be produced by Subaskaran.
Big B and Rajinikanth last worked together in the 1991 film Hum, which was helmed by Mukul Anand.
