Heroine Locked For ‘Thalapathy68’?

Even though there is a plenty of time left before formal updates on Thalapathy68 are out, there has been a lot of excitement around the name of the actress who will be playing the female lead opposite Vijay in the movie. And the latest buzz reveals that actress Jyothika has been finalized to play the films leading lady. Apparently, director Venkat Prabhu recently met with Jyothika and her actor husband Suriya to discuss her role and got their nod.
Incidentally, Vijay and Jyothika had shared screen in their 2000 blockbuster romantic drama, Khushi. The film was later remade in Telugu with the same title and it starred Pawan Kalyan and Bhumika in lead roles. An interesting coincidence is that popular actor-director SJ Suryah, who directed both the versions of Khushi, is rumored to be locking horns with Vijay in a negative role in Thalapathy68.
Yuvan Shankar Raja will be scoring the music for this AGS Entertainment production. More details about this high budget entertainer are expected to be out on Vijays birthday (June 22).
