Sony Music South acquires Thalapathy 64 audio rights for record price!!

As we already know, Vijay’s next after ‘Bigil’ will be directed by the two-film-old Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film is said to be a completely different attempt from the usual mass entertainers that Vijay does. While shoot is scheduled to begin next month, the film’s audio rights have already been acquired by Sony Music South for a huge price. It is a said that Sony bagged the rights for the biggest price ever for a Tamil film.

Trade analyst Kaushik LM has tweeted,

‘Thalapathy 64’ has young sensation Anirudh Ravichander as the composer. It marks his second time collaboration with Vijay after ‘Kaththi’. Much is expected from Anirudh this time as his goosebumps inducing score and songs in ‘Kaththi’ had become a huge rage then. Sony allotting such a record price for the music rights even before the start of shoot is a testament to the kind of expectations on Anirudh-Vijay combo.

‘Thalapathy 64’ is reportedly shaping up as a gangster thriller. The makers are currently in talks with actors like Vijay Sethupathi and Malavika Mohanan to play important roles in the film. While Sethupathi is being considered to play the villain’s part, Malavika has apparently been approached to pair up with Vijay. Malayalam actor Antony Varghese is also said to be a part of the film.

Cinematographer Sathyan Sooryan, editor Philomin Raj, Stunt Silva and art director Satheesh Kumar form the film’s core technical crew. Xavier Britto, who had earlier produced Vijay’s films like ‘Deva’, ‘Rasigan’ and ‘Sendhoorapandian’, is backing ‘Thalapathy 64’ as well.
