Superstar Rajinikanth has reached Thiruvananthapuram for the shoot of his new film. Many fans thronged the airport to see the actor who arrived at noon.

Rajinikanth's film has been temporarily titled 'Thalaiver 170' after the historic success of Jailer. T J Gnanavel is the director who was nationally acclaimed with a single film ‘Jai Bheem’. The shooting of the film will be at Vellayani Agricultural College and a house in Shanghumugham. He will be staying in the five-star hotel in Kovalam.

The actor had the other day said that Thalaivar would be a big budget film. This is the first time a Rajini film is being shot in Thiruvananthapuram. Other casts include Amitabh Bachchan, Manju Warrier, Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati.

All other stars except Bachchan will reach Thiruvananthapuram. The film is produced by Subaskaran under the banner of Lyca Productions, a noted film production company in Tamil. Anirudh Ravichander composes music for the film.
