It was announced earlier this year that Thalapathy Vijay’s next film would be with Venkat Prabhu, who is known for directing Mankatha and Maanadu. The Mersal actor is currently wrapping up the post-production works for his next film, Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The makers of the film are planning to host its audio launch towards the end of September, and the film will officially release in theaters on the 19th of October
In the midst of Leo’s hype, it was reported that the Pooja for Thalapathy 68 will take held on October 1st, and the shoot will begin on October 2nd, Gandhi Jayanti. It is also being stated that Vijay will play two roles in the film. Indeed, Venkat Prabhu and Vijay had come to Los Angeles to test the anti-aging technology. However, there has been no official announcement from the creators of Thalapathy 68 on the subject.
Simran was confirmed earlier this year to join the cast as Vijay’s heroine for the flick. The speculative news, as expected, sent fans into a frenzy, as they finally got to meet the on-screen romance after 19 years. They last appeared in a film together in 2004, in the film Udhaya, directed by Azhagam Perumal. It was also revealed that Prashanth and Prabhu Deva will play important roles in the film. None of the following information has been formally confirmed.
Priyanka Mohan in final talks for Thalapathy 68?
The latest buzz related to the movie is that Priyanka Mohan, famous for playing the lead in Don and Doctor, is set to be cast alongside Simran as the lead, where Simran would be cast opposite an older Vijay, and Priyanka would be cast opposite a younger one.
The film is expected to be a classic Venkat Prabhu film, that is set to portray Vijay in a completely new light. Major portions of the film will be shot in Chennai, while there will be song sequences that will be shot in foreign locations.
