Tamil cinema's biggest collaboration, Thalaivar 173, hit a roadblock just days after its announcement. Director Sundar C opted out of the project citing 'unforeseen circumstances.' Now, co-star Kamal Haasan has spoken out about the development. Kamal Haasan, speaking to reporters, said that Sundar C had explained his reasons for leaving the film through a press release. He reassured fans that the team is committed to finding a script that Rajinikanth likes. 'We will keep searching for the right stories until he's satisfied,' Haasan said. When asked about the kind of stories they're looking for, Haasan hinted that fans should 'expect the unexpected.' Sundar C, in his apology, expressed gratitude to Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan for the opportunity to work with them. He acknowledged the 'difficult decision' and expressed his respect for the two icons. The film, set for release around Pongal 2027, still lacks a director. No official announcement has been made about who will take on the role. Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan is currently shooting for an untitled project, while Rajinikanth has been teasing their collaboration since before the release of Coolie.
