For those unaware, the much-awaited project featuring Silambarasan TR, tentatively titled STR48, is said to be a period venture with a high budget. As the film has been in development for a significant amount of time, speculations arose that the project had been postponed, with rumors suggesting Silambarasan was replaced by Ajith Kumar.
Ajith Kumar, who has yet to announce his next film following Good Bad Ugly with director Adhik Ravichandran, has been the subject of speculation involving several directors. While Kanguva director Siva is expected to be the frontrunner for Ajith’s next, rumors also suggested that Desingh Periyasamy might step in with his project.
However, the recent post featuring Desingh Periyasamy and Silambarasan standing together has put the rumors to rest, confirming that the STR48 project is still in progress.
Looking back, Silambarasan TR was last seen in a leading role in Pathu Thala, which was released in 2023. Directed by Obeli N Krishna, the neo-noir action thriller was an official remake of the Kannada film Mufti starring Shiva Rajkumar.
The film featured an ensemble cast, including Gautham Karthik, Priya Bhavani Shankar, Gautham Vasudev Menon, and others in key roles. Pathu Thala received positive reviews from both critics and audiences.
Up next, Silambarasan will appear in a lead role in Thug Life, a film produced by Kamal Haasan and directed by Mani Ratnam.
