Vijay’s upcoming film Thalapathy 69, directed by H. Vinoth, is already generating major buzz in the industry. Produced by a prominent Telugu production house making its debut in Tamil cinema, the film has made a significant mark by securing a record-breaking overseas distribution deal worth Rs 78 crore. This makes it the highest-ever overseas deal for a Tamil film.
Set to be Vijay’s final film before he transitions into full-time politics, Thalapathy 69 has sky-high expectations. The film is anticipated to break multiple box office records, with pre-sales already soaring. The movie is being marketed as a major commercial drama with a political backdrop, catering to a wide audience.
Filming for Thalapathy 69 is progressing rapidly, with the second schedule currently underway in Chennai. Key scenes involving Vijay and actress Pooja Hegde are being shot. The film is expected to release in October 2025, and fans are eagerly awaiting what could be Vijay’s most memorable performance to date.
Vijay’s previous release, GOAT, grossed over Rs 450 crore globally, and Thalapathy 69 is poised to surpass this. However, it remains to be seen if it can outdo Leo, which grossed Rs 610 crore, and become Vijay’s highest-grossing film ever.
