Annaatthe (transl. Elder brother) is an upcoming 2021 Indian Tamil-language action film[2] written and directed by Siva and produced by Kalanithi Maran under the banner of Sun Pictures. The film stars Rajinikanth, Meena, Khushbu, Nayanthara and Keerthy Suresh. While Jagapathi Babu, Prakash Raj, Vela Ramamoorthy, and Soori play prominent supporting roles.[3] The music for the film is composed by D. Imman while cinematography and editing are performed by Vetri and Ruben respectively.[4] It revolves around the brother-sister relationship of Kaalaiyan, a village president and his sibling.

The film was officially announced on October 2011, marking Rajinikanth's first collaboration with Siva. Principal photography for the film began on 11 December 2019, on the eve of the actor's birthday, and completed within September 2021.[5] The shooting process went on for one-and-a-half years, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown in India and Rajinikanth's health issues in late-December 2020, delayed the film's production. The film was shot primarily in Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad, with few sequences shot at Chennai.[5]

The film is scheduled to release on 4 November 2021, on the occasion of Diwali.[6]

Premise

Kaaliyan (Rajinikanth) is a village president in the Soorakkottai Thanjavur district, who is fondly called Annaatthe (Elder Brother). His cousins (Meena and Khushbu) compete with each other to marry him. But, he falls in love with another woman (Nayanthara) who visits their village. Kaaliyan has a sister (Keerthy Suresh) who gets married and shifts to Kolkata where she faces some unknown threats. Soon, her brother comes to her aid. [7]

Development

In mid-October 2019, media reports claimed that Rajinikanth will be working with director Siva, after the release of Darbar (2020),[21][22] but it was later confirmed by Kalanithi Maran on 11 October 2019, whose production house Sun Pictures bankrolling the venture, tentatively titled the project as Thalaivar 168,[23] as it marks Rajinikanth's 168th film project.[24][25] Though composer D. Imman, who worked previously with the director in Viswasam (2019),[26] was reported to score music for the film,[27][28] his inclusion was confirmed by the producer in mid-November.[29][30] It was reported that the movie will be titled as Viyugam and Mannavan,[31][32] however the team denied the rumours.[33][34] The film's title Annaatthe was revealed on 24 February 2020.[35][36][37] Siva's usual technical crew, Vetri, Ruben, Milan and Dilip Subbarayan, who worked in the director's earlier films, excluding Subbarayan, as he worked with Siva only in Viswasam, were reported to be the film's cinematographer, editor, art director and stunt choreographer respectively.[38][39][40] Rajinikanth had penned some punch lines in his film.[41] Initially, the actor was reported to be paid ₹108 crore as his salary for the film, but Kalanithi Maran insisted him to reduce the salary post the failure of Darbar and was also ready to shelve the project if Rajinikanth had refused to do so.[42] After much deliberation, Rajinikanth had agreed to reduce his salary to ₹58 crore, including GST.[43][44]

Casting

On 23 October 2019, Keerthy Suresh was signed in to act in a pivotal role.[45] Later comedian Soori, was reported to play another prominent role.[46] The inclusion of Soori and Suresh were confirmed by Sun Pictures on the mid-week of December 2019.[47][48] Keerthy Suresh was reported to essay the role of Rajinikanth's step sister.[49] In December 2019, the producers also confirmed that Meena and Khushbu,[50][51] will be the female leads for Rajinikanth in Thalaivar 168.[52] Prakash Raj and Sathish too joined the film's cast before the start of the shoot, with actor Vishwanth, who worked with Rajinikanth in Kabali (2016), too joined the cast.[53][54][19] On 31 January 2020, Sun Pictures later announced that Nayanthara will also be a part of the film's cast,[55] essaying the role of a lawyer in the film.[56][57][58] Actor Vela Ramamoorthy, too joined the cast, essaying a crucial role.[59] Telugu actor Gopichand, was reported to play the antagonist in the film,[60][61] but however the actor refuted such claims.[62][63] Jackie Shroff was hired to play the film's antagonist,[64] but was replaced by Jagapathi Babu in March 2021.[65] Abhimanyu Singh appeared in a pivotal role in August 2021.[66] It will also be the posthumous film of Thavasi, who earlier appeared in Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam (2013) and Rajinimurugan (2015).[19]

Principal photography of the film was commenced on 11 December 2019, on the eve of actor Rajinikanth's birthday.[67] The film's cast and crew were present at the pooja ceremony held at the office of Sun TV Network in Chennai.[20] Filming began on 18 December 2019,[67] at Ramoji Film City in Hyderabad with a song shoot,[68][69] while Khushbu joined shooting for her portions, a few days after filming began.[70] Rajinikanth went to shoot for an episode of Man vs. Wild at the Bandipur forest in Karnataka, which resulted in delay of the film's shoot.[71] After the announcement of Nayanthara's inclusion, the actress joined the sets in February 2020.[72] The makers planned to shoot a few sequences in Kolkata and Pune after the completion of two schedules in Hyderabad, but dropped the idea due to the fear of COVID-19 pandemic and decided to continue the shoot at Hyderabad.[73][74] Filming was further halted due to the pandemic.[75]

It was reported that the team will shoot some sequences in Chennai after lockdown since the team will find it difficult to head to Hyderabad for the shoot.[76] After the government gave permissions to resume film and television production after the pandemic, Rajinikanth was reported to join the sets in October 2020.[77] However the makers postponed the film's shooting to November,[78] citing the team's safety.[79][80][81] In mid November 2020, the makers officially stated that the shooting will resume on 15 December 2020 with Rajinikanth joining the schedule,[82][83] and was expected to be completed within a single stretch in order to complete the shoot quickly.[84][85] Rajinikanth headed to Hyderabad on 14 December and started the shoot before the scheduled date,[86] with Nayanthara being present on the film's sets.[87][88] Sources claimed that Rajinikanth worked for more than fourteen hours in order to complete the film's shoot, before the actor's entry into politics.[89][90] But the film's shoot however was halted on 23 December 2020,[91] after eight crew members were diagnosed with COVID-19,[92] although Rajinikanth being tested negative,[93] the actor has undergone self-quarantine in Hyderabad.[94][95] However Rajinikanth was hospitalised on 25 December 2020, due to fluctuating blood pressure,[96][97] and was discharged on 27 December.[98][99]

Following Rajinikanth's health, the makers planned to resume shooting in Chennai on 15 March 2021,[100] with a single schedule being shot within 30 days.[101] After Tamil Nadu state legislative assembly elections, Rajinikanth headed to Hyderabad for the next schedule shoot in April 2021.[102] Shooting of the film happened at a brisk pace, despite night curfew and other restrictions.[103] The team shot a few stunt sequences featuring Rajinikanth and for the night sequences, the team sought permission from the government as well as Hyderabad police to shoot the night scenes.[103] The team ensured safety at the sets while filming at a brisk pace.[104] Nayanthara joined the film's team in late April 2021, and scenes featuring Rajinikanth and Nayanthara were shot within three days.[105] On 10 May 2021, it was announced that Rajinikanth had completed his portions for the film, except for few patchwork sequences.[106] The final schedule of the film took place at a private studio in Chennai in July 2021.[107] In August, except for minor portions the stunt sequences of the film had been wrapped up,[108] with Rajinikanth and Khushbu began dubbing for their portions.[109][110] With the final copy of the film being ready by September 2021,[111] the film was sent to Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) for public viewing, where the film got U/A certificate from the Censor Board.[112][113] The film's final runtime is of 163 minutes,[114] with the first half consisting of 83 minutes and the duration of the second half is about 80 minutes.[115][116]

Main article: Annaatthe (soundtrack)

The music for the film will be composed by D. Imman, collaborating with actor Rajinikanth for the first time, and featured lyrics written by Thamarai, Viveka, Yugabharathi, Arun Bharathi, Mani Amuthavan and Arivu.[29][38] Veteran singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, had recorded an introduction song (later deciphered as "Annaatthe Annaatthe") for Rajinikanth in the film,[117] which marks his last song before his death on 25 September 2020.[118][119][120] Imman said that the track was considered to be the "best-ever opening song" for Rajinikanth.[117][121] Other singers who crooned the songs from the music album were K.S. Chithra, Sid Sriram, Shreya Ghoshal, Anirudh Ravichander, Diwakar and the composer Imman himself.[122] The soundtrack was reported to feature about five songs and a theme music; totally six tracks in the soundtrack album, and has varied genres — opening song, melody, dance and festive numbers.[123] Deciding not to tie-up with music labels, Sun Pictures released the album through their own production house with lyric videos released on the official YouTube channel of Sun TV. The lyrics of all the songs were in Tamil texts instead of English lyrics.[124]

The opening track "Annaatthe Annaatthe" was the first to be released.[125] Considering it as a heartfelt tribute to the deceased singer S. P. Balasubrahmanyam, Rajinikanth penned an emotional note about the singer, and finally saying that "he may live on with his sweet voice forever".[126] Another two singles — "Saara Kaatrae" and "Marudhaani" — were released on 6 and 11 October 2021, respectively.[127][128][129] The lyrical song "Vaa Saamy" was released on 25 October 2021,[130] along with the audio jukebox on YouTube.[131] The songs were later released through music streaming platforms. a week later, on 1 November 2021,[132][133] without any promotional event due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.[130] The soundtrack, included the earlier released singles, gained positive response from audience and topped the charts online.[134][130]

The people haven't still watched what you've done in Annaatthe, Siva sir, but I've witnessed it. I came out and shook hands with you in tears after watching the movie.
