Thalapathy Vijay is almost wrapped up the portions for his upcoming movie, Varisu, directed by Vamsi Paidipally. The excitement around his next is growing stronger. The film which is tentatively being referred to as #Thalapathy67 will be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, with whom Vijay had earlier teamed up for Master.
In master, Vijay Sethupathi plays antogonist role. As Lokesh delivered a blockbuster hit with Vikram for Ulaganayagan Kamal Hassan, the rumours are making rife in Kollywood that Kamal will play a cameo role in Thalapathy67 along Vijay. Official announcement from the makers has to be made on this. After announcement only, we can know what the role that Kamal is playing.
It was recently that there was a buzz that the OTT rights of the film have been bagged by a leading digital platform, that too, even before a formal announcement of the film. We hear that Netflix has bagged the rights of the action entertainer for a whopping Rs 160 crore.
This is the biggest deal for any Indian film that the streamer has acquired the post-theatrical rights even before the commencement of the first day shoot of the film.
Trisha Krishnan is likely to play the leading lady in the film. She was last seen in Ponniyin Selvan-1 while Sanjay Dutt is playing the antagonist. The film has Nivin Pauly, Vishal, Gautham Menon and Malayalam actor Mathew George of Jo and Jo fame.
The shoot for the film is likely to commence in December, according to director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s interview to a leading channel.
