Vijay has recently scored a solid hit in the form of Varisu which was directed by Vamshi Paidipally and bankrolled by Dil Raju. However, the Telugu version Vaarasudu has garnered mixed responses as the film seemed to be a mixture of multiple popular films in Telugu. Vijay’s next film is tentatively titled Thalapathy67.
Thalapathy67 is being directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The latest news is that makers of the film are in plans to release it during Dussehra festive season i.e, on 19th October 2023. However, there is no official announcement yet.
Lokesh Kanagaraj has recently delivered a blockbuster with Vikram starring Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathy in lead roles. The film also had a cameo from Suriya and the director has created Lokesh Cinematic Universe by linking Karthi’s Khaidi with Vikram. There have been a lot of rumours that Thalapathy67 is also part of the universe and the latest comments from Fahadh Faasil confirms the same.
The duo of Lokesh Kanagaraj and Vijay have already gave a solid hit in the form of Master. So the expectations are sky high on this new project. It remains to be seen whether the duo will repeat the magic. Anirudh Ravichander is set to compose the music.
