The fans are eagerly waiting for Superstar's 171st film, which is directed by the talented Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Sun Pictures. The film, which has music by Anirudh, is expected to be a mass entertainer with Rajini’s trademark style and charisma. The film team officially announced the project in last year by releasing a poster.

However, the poster did not reveal much about the film’s plot or Rajini’s character. But now, some interesting information has emerged about the film, which will surely excite the fans even more. According to sources, the film will use de-ageing technology to make Rajini look younger in some portions of the film. This means that the fans will get to see Rajini in his youthful avatar, reminiscent of his earlier films.

De-aging technology is a technique that uses computer graphics to digitally reduce the age of an actor or actress on screen. It has been used in several Hollywood films, such as The Irishman, Captain Marvel, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. However, this is the first time that such a technology will be used for Rajini, who is known for his evergreen appeal and charisma.

It's worth mentioning that Lokesh also incorporated this technology in his previous film Vikram which starred Ulaganayagan Kamla Hassan, which is yet to be released for the fans. The sources also revealed that the film will have a dual role for Rajini, one of which will be his younger self. 

The film is currently in the pre-production stage, and the shooting is expected to start soon. The film will also feature some prominent actors and actresses in supporting roles, whose names will be announced soon. The film is slated to release in 2024, and the fans are eagerly waiting for the first look and teaser of the film, which will showcase Rajini’s de-aged look. The film is expected to be a blockbuster hit and a treat for Rajini’s fans worldwide.
