AR Rahman to score for Ilayathalapathy’s Vijay 61 ?
We had earlier reported that Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s next movie will be with young filmmaker Atlee, who previously directed Vijay in the blockbuster Theri.
The latest we hear is that Mozart of Madras AR Rahman is currently in talks for the movie. In both his movies, Raja Rani and Theri, Atlee preferred G V Prakash as the music director. But this time it is told that the director is trying to rope in AR Rahman.
AR Rahman has only worked for two movies starring Vijay, Udhaya and Azhagiya Tamizh Magan. There were also reports that Vijayendra Prasad who was the writer for movies like Magadheera, Eega, Baahubali, Bhajrangi Bhaijaan will be working with Atlee in this new project. Most of the portions of the movie will be filmed in US.

We hear that Vijay will take a short break after Bairavaa and then only join Atlee’s project.
