Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, who made a splash with his first film Maanagaram, will direct Vijay in his next film which is currently dubbed as Thalapathy 64.
While an official announcement regarding the project is yet awaited, crucial details about the film were leaked by fans on social media on Wednesday.
Sathyan Sooryan will crank the camera while Philomin Raj will take care of editing. It is already rumored that the yet-untitled thriller will feature Vijay in the role of a ruthless gangster.
Tipped to be a very dark role for Vijay, the project is expected to be officially announced soon. There are reports that the announcement can be expected to be made on Vijay’s birthday on June 22.
Vijay is currently shooting for Thalapathy 63 with director Atlee. The yet-untitled film will see him play a football coach to a women’s team.
The film, being produced by AGS Entertainment, was officially launched last November in Chennai.
Last month, a massive football set was built on a budget of Rs 6 crores. Meanwhile, Vijay was recently trained by a special physical trainer to prepare for his role, and sixteen women will star as sports players in the film, which also stars Nayanthara, Jackie Shroff, Kathir, Yogi Babu and Vivek in crucial roles.
