Actor Vijay’s upcoming film, tentatively titled ‘Thalapathy 69’, directed by H Vinoth, began production in October and is moving forward gradually. Actress Pooja Hegde has been cast as the female lead, and recent reports suggest that Kannada superstar Shivarajkumar is likely to join the project.
Having previously starred in Tamil hits like Rajinikanth’s ‘Jailer’ and Dhanush’s ‘Captain Miller’, Shivarajkumar recently revealed in an interview that he had been offered a notable role in ‘Thalapathy 69’. In his words during an interview with sources, Shivarajkumar shared, ‘They approached me for a beautiful character in Vijay’s film. It sounds promising, but I need to see if my schedule can accommodate it. People are saying it might be Vijay’s last film, though I personally hope that’s not the case. As a friend and admirer, I believe he’s an incredible actor and person. I respect his ambition and hope to work on the project.’
‘Thalapathy 69’ will also feature Bobby Deol, Prakash Raj, Narain, Gautham Menon, Priyamani, and Mamitha Baiju in supporting roles. The film’s music is composed by Anirudh, with Sathyan Sooryan handling cinematography, Pradeep E Ragav on editing, and Anbarasu overseeing stunts. ‘Thalapathy 69’ is planned for a grand release in October 2025, and fans are eagerly awaiting updates on this exciting collaboration.
