Vijay Sethupathi to lock horns with Thalapathy Vijay
Tamil cinema’s biggest release season, the Diwali phase, is fast approaching and multiple films are eyeing to hit screens during that time. Thalapathy Vijay’s football based mass entertainer ‘Bigil’ is the most anticipated film that’s planned for Diwali. Along with that, Vijay Sethupathi’s ‘Sanga Tamizhan’ has also joined the race. Interestingly, both ‘Bigil’ and ‘Sanga Tamizhan’ have their lead actors in dual roles. Yes, both Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi will be seen in double roles in these films. Likewise, both the films have high expectations among the Tamil audience.
‘Sanga Tamizhan’ is directed by Vijay Chander of ‘Sketch’ and ‘Vaalu’ fame. Vijaya Productions is producing the movie, which is touted to be a complete commercial mass entertainer just like the director’s earlier two films. The movie has two female leads in Raashi Khanna and Nivetha Pethuraj. The director’s previous two films were disappointing, so hopefully he will be trying to rectify his mistakes and a deliver a hit this time around.
