Rajinikanth and Nayanthara are all set to reunite again for the fourth time in their upcoming film Thalaivar 167. The film is being helmed by director A R Murugadoss. The on-screen couple have previously worked together on successful films such as Sivaji, Chandramukhi and Kulesan. Reports suggest that the Rajinikanth will be playing the role of a cop in the film. Over the past few days, there have been several reports doing the rounds about the casting of this film. Rajinikanth's publicist finally took to Twitter to clear the same.

Riaz Ahmed on Monday took to Twitter to announce that only Nayanthara has been signed so far. Unlike rumours of the inclusion of SJ Suryah in the film, this tweet has now cleared the air and confirmed Nayanthara's casting. He tweeted, saying "The Rumours Being Speculated About The Cast Of #Thalaivar167 Is Not Authentic, As Of Now Only #Nayanthara Has Been Roped In The Film! Kindly Do Not Spread The News Until You Get An Official Press Release About The Entire Confirmed Cast." Will Rajinikanth Be Playing the Role of a Cop in Thalaivar 166? Megastar’s Pic Leaks Online.
