Thalapathy 62: Title and first look release date of of Vijay’s next announced
Putting an end to all speculations, it has been officially announced that the title and first look poster of Vijay’s upcoming movie with AR Murugadoss will be released on Sun TV at 6 PM on June 21. This is probably the first time in Tamil cinema that a movie’s first look is being released directly on a television channel. Sun Pictures is making a comeback to production after a long gap by funding this big budget venture.
Thalapathy 62 (working title) is unarguably one of the most anticipated films in Tamil cinema this year. This is Vijay-Muragadoss duo’s third outing together after Thupakki and Kaththi. Both their earlier films were huge blockbusters and naturally expectations are high for their upcoming one. The movie has Keerthy Suresh playing the female lead.
Thalapathy 62 is reportedly shaping up as a political thriller. Murugadoss himself has scripted the movie, and dialogues are penned by noted writer Jeyamohan, who is also the co-writer of 2.O. Vijay is said to be playing the role of a rich businessman in the movie. It is after a long gap that Vijay is playing such a rich and sophisticated character as he has of late been doing roles that commoners could easily relate to.
Pala Karuppaiah, a politician in real life, is playing one in the movie as well while veteran Radha Ravi essays the role of a MLA. Along with them, Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar is also playing a brief but very crucial role. These three actors are said to be the antagonists in the movie. Livingston, Yogi Babu, Prem and some other noted actors are also part of the supporting cast.
Thalapathy 62’s technical crew includes Malayali cinematographer Girish Gangadharan, multiple National award winning editor Sreekar Prasad and music maestro AR Rahman. The movie is slated for a grand release this coming Diwali in November.
