In the picture, Amitabh could be seen sitting on a chair looking at the mobile screen with a bandage on his hand.
The ‘Robot’ actor, on the other hand, is seen standing close to him and looking at the screen.
Thalaivar 170 is being directed by TJ Gnanavel.
Ritika Singh, Manju Warrier, Tushara Vijayan, Rana Daggubati, and Fahadh Faasil have also been cast as extras.
Rajinikanth is expected to play a retired police officer in the film. Earlier, he was seen leaving the Chennai airport on his way to Kochi to shoot his next film.
“I am going for the next movie shooting. ‘Jailer’ movie is more successful than what we expected. 170th movie is directed by T J Gnanavel. It is Produced by LYCA which would be a big entertainment movie with a message. The title for the movie is yet to be decided,” he said at the time.
Rajinikanth was recently seen in ‘Jailer,’ which was a worldwide box-office hit. He plays a man seeking to avenge the death of his cop son in ‘Jailer’. Mohanlal, Shivarajkumar, and Jackie Shroff were in important cameos.
Meanwhile, Amitabh was recently seen in the action thriller film ‘Ganapath: A Hero is Born’ alongside Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon.
Apart from that, he also has a sci-fi action thriller film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ and a courtroom drama film ‘Section 84’ in his kitty.
