Vijay 62; After Thuppakki and Kaththi, Vijay teams up with AR Murugadoss once again!

Ilayathalapathy Vijay’s upcoming movie Mersal with director Atlee is in the final stages of post production. The movie is slated to hit scenes for this year’s Diwali in October. Now, reports coming in from Kollywood media suggest that Vijay has committed for his next film director AR Murugadoss. Speculations about their teaming up have been doing the rounds for sometime now.

According to latest reports, Sun Pictures is returning back to production after seven long years by funding this high-profile project. Their last production was the all time blockbuster Enthiran, released back in 2010. Vijay and Murugadoss have an enviable track record with both their previous collaborations; Thuppakki and Kaththi entering the Rs 100 crore club.

Murugadoss is a filmmaker who knows how to utilize the acting potential and star power of Vijay correctly. So when the blockbuster duo join hands for the third time, expectations are sure to go sky high. Reportedly, their upcoming movie will start rolling in October.

Meanwhile, the final schedule of Vijay’s Mersal is progressing at a brisk pace. He is playing a triple role in the movie, which is a first in his career. Nithya Menen, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Kajal Agarwal are the three female leads. Oscar award winner AR Rahman is handling the music department. Mersal is the 100th film to be funded under the prestigious banner of Sri Thenandal Films.
