Thalapathy
Vijay
continues
to
soar
in
his
relentless
journey
of
box
office
domination.
The
actor
who
has
many
records
in
his
name
has
achieved
another
creditable
record.
His
latest
release
'Mersal'
which
received
thumbs
up
from
both
fans,
film
buffs
and
critics
has
turned
out
to
be
a
massive
hit.
The
film
which
was
applauded
for
its
socially
relevant
theme
had
Vijay
in
triple
role.
Even
as
Mersal
celebrated
its
big
success
there
were
differing
voices
which
claimed
that
the
film
was
struggling
to
register
the
expected
collections.
There
were
even
reports
from
some
quarters
that
the
makers
incurred
losses
or
that
the
film
didn't
end
up
as
profitable.
But
latest
reports
have
pushed
all
such
negative
news
to
irrelevance.
It
is
heard
that
Mersal
has
been
reportedly
included
in
a
very
special
list
of
Indian
cinema's
highest
grossers.
The
rollicking
entertainer
which
had
Vijay
in
scintillating
form
is
said
to
have
claimed
the
25th
spot
in
the
all-time
list
which
is
led
by
Aamir
Khan's
Bollywood
biggie
Dangal.
Rajinikanth's
Enthiran
and
Kabali
are
said
to
be
the
Tamil
films
ahead
of
Mersal.
This
news
should
come
as
a
massive
boost
to
Thalapathy
fans.
Vijay's
Next
Film
After
Mersal,
Vijay
is
gearing
up
for
his
big
ticket
project
produced
by
Sun
Pictures
and
directed
by
hit
maker
A.R.Murugadoss.
It
may
be
noted
that
it
is
only
the
third
film
of
Sun
Pictures,
which
has
mainly
focused
on
distributing
films
so
far.
The
last
time
Sun
Pictures
produced
a
film,
was
Rajinikanth's
all-time
blockbuster
Enthiran
which
came
out
in
2010.
Vijay
62
The
as
yet
untitled
flick
will
be
the
third
time
that
Thalapathy
Vijay
will
associate
with
director
Murugadoss
who
is
now
a
well
established
name
even
in
Bollywood.
Vijay
had
an
extremely
fruitful
combination
with
Murugadoss
with
both
their
previous
films
Kaththi
and
Thuppaki
going
on
to
become
box
office
successes.
The
film
is
expected
to
go
on
the
floors
in
January
next
year
and
the
filmmakers
are
planning
to
make
it
Vijay's
big
Deepavali
release
next
year.
The
makers
of
the
film
were
reportedly
on
the
lookout
for
some
fresh
faces
to
cast
in
this
big
budget
film.
As
of
now
only
the
actor,
director
and
the
producer
of
the
project,
which
has
been
tentatively
called,
Vijay
62,
has
been
confirmed.
Further
details
regarding
the
remaining
cast
and
crew
are
still
under
the
wraps.
AR
Rahman’s
Music
There
are
reports
that
Oscar-winning
composer
A
R.Rahman
may
be
handling
the
music
department.
However,
an
official
confirmation
is
awaited
on
the
same.
Rahman
had
also
scored
music
for
Vijay's
previous
film
Mersal,
which
set
the
box
office
on
fire
after
it
released
on
Deepavali
this
year.
Directed
By
AR
Murugadoss
Talented
film-maker
A.R.Murugadoss' will
be
looking
to
get
back
to
winning
ways
with
this
new
outing.
His
previous
film
Spyder,
which
had
Tollywood
star
Mahesh
Babu,
which
released
this
year
amid
huge
hype
failed
to
live
up
to
its
huge
box
office
expectations.
