The buzz around Thalaivar 173 has been wild for weeks, and now the picture is finally getting clearer. According to confirmed sources, the film is all set to be directed by National Award–winning filmmaker Ramkumar, the talent behind Parking. And honestly, this feels like one of those pairings that nobody predicted but everyone is instantly excited about.
With STR tied up with Vetrimaaran’s project and Sundar C officially stepping away from the Thalaivar film, the director’s chair surprisingly opened up — and Ramkumar seems to have grabbed it at the perfect moment. His sharp storytelling skills and knack for fresh narrative beats could bring an interesting texture to a full-fledged commercial entertainer, which is exactly what this film is rumored to aim for.

The project is backed by none other than Kamal Haasan’s RKFI, which automatically raises expectations. RKFI has always had an eye for strong creative pairings, and this combo — Thalaivar + Ramkumar — feels like the kind of move that could shake up the star’s next phase in a very promising way.
