Thalapathy
69:
Actor
Vijay,
known
as
Thalapathy
Vijay
to
his
fans,
has
taken
a
significant
step
in
his
career
by
declaring
his
entry
into
politics
and
unveiling
the
name
of
his
new
political
party
on
February
2.
Currently
filming
for
'The
Greatest
of
All
Time'
(GOAT),
directed
by
Venkat
Prabhu,
Vijay
has
confirmed
that
this
movie
will
be
his
penultimate
film,
with
'Thalapathy
69'
slated
to
be
his
final
acting
endeavour.
The
newly
formed
political
party
is
named
Tamizhaga
Vetri
Kazhagam,
with
Vijay
assuming
the
role
of
president.
He
announced
the
party's
formation
via
an
official
statement.
Contrary
to
speculation,
Vijay
clarified
that
Tamizhaga
Vetri
Kazhagam
will
not
participate
in
the
upcoming
2024
parliamentary
elections
nor
align
with
any
existing
political
parties.
Instead,
the
party's
main
goal
is
to
contest
and
emerge
victorious
in
the
2026
assembly
elections
in
Tamil
Nadu.
In
Search
For
The
Director
Of
Thalapathy
69
Reports
suggest
that
Vijay's
upcoming
film
will
be
produced
by
D.
V.
V.
Danayya,
a
prominent
figure
in
the
Telugu
film
industry.
The
selection
process
for
the
director
is
currently
underway,
with
intense
competition
among
several
contenders.
Notable
names
such
as
Atlee
Kumar,
Vetrimaaran,
Nelson
Dilipkumar,
H.
Vinoth,
and
Telugu
director
Trivikram
Srinivas
are
in
contention.
However,
Vijay
has
reportedly
narrowed
down
the
choices
to
two
directors:
Karthik
Subbaraj
and
RJ
Balaji.
Both
directors
presented
compelling
one-liners
to
Vijay,
who
instructed
them
to
develop
them
into
full-fledged
scripts.
Vijay
will
ultimately
decide
which
project
to
pursue
based
on
the
strength
of
the
scripts.
This
unexpected
decision
has
stirred
excitement
within
the
Kollywood
community,
especially
considering
Vijay's
rejection
of
numerous
other
established
directors.

Vijay's
Salary
Reports
suggest
that
actor
Vijay
is
commanding
a
salary
of
Rs
200
crore
for
his
role
in
GOAT.
Rumours
indicate
that
for
Thalapathy
69,
his
compensation
might
surpass
this
figure.
Recent
updates
hint
that
Vijay
could
potentially
earn
up
to
250
crore
rupees
for
Thalapathy
69,
which,
if
confirmed,
would
catapult
him
to
the
summit
of
the
highest-paid
actors
in
India.
As
fans
await
updates
on
Vijay's
final
film
and
its
director,
his
transition
into
politics
also
prompts
discussions
about
his
future

Nadu's
socio-political
landscape.
