Thalapathy 65: Vijay most likely to team up with AR Murugadoss next

Ever since the completion of ‘Master’, there have been several speculations about the director of Vijay’s next film (Thalapathy 65). Names like Atlee, AR Murugadoss, Mohan Rajan, Shankar, Sudha Kongara, Vetrimaaran, Pandiraj, Magizh Thirumeni and Lokesh Kanagaraj had been doing the rounds, but as it turns out, it seems like AR Murugadoss has bagged the opportunity. If the news is true, it will be the director’s fourth outing with Vijay after the blockbuster successes of ‘Thuppakki’, ‘Kaththi’ and ‘Sarkar’.

Though Sudha Kongara and Vetrimaaran had emerged as strong contenders to direct Thalapathy 65, things didn’t fall it place. Vijay was impressed by Sudha’s subject but the project will get delayed as she apparently asked for more time to get the full script ready. Vetrimaaran also got other commitments, which eventually proved beneficial for AR Murugadoss.

There is a buzz in social medias that the director is planning to make ‘Thuppakki 2’ with Vijay but nothing is confirmed as of yet. Sun Pictures will be producing the film. An official confirmation is expected to be made very soon.
