Lokesh Kanagaraj announces title of Thalaivar 171

In the video, several people are seen in a factory working with gold--from chains to watches. One of the workers receives a call that an unknown person has breached security, and they should be careful. As he walks outside with a gold chain to thrash the person, he gets beaten up instead.

What follows are fight sequences between Rajinikanth's character and the workers. The entire teaser has been shot in black and white with only the gold colour visible. Sharing posters, Lokesh tweeted, "We love you Thalaiva @rajinikanth (red heart emoji). #Coolie (muscle emoji)."

Reacting to the video, a fan wrote, "Lokesh + Anirudh + Rajini = Blockbuster." A comment read, "That final shot with the Thalaivar smile was INCREDIBLE. What incredible background music." "Those unexpected DIALOGUES," said another person. Another fan said, "Rajinikanth Screen presence + Lokesh Taking + Anirudh BGM= Goosebumps, hit in theatres."
