Vijay,
one
of
the
biggest
names
in
Tamil
cinema,
is
working
on
a
commercial
movie
with
young
filmmaker
Lokesh
Kanagaraj,
being
referred
to
as
Thalapathy
64.
The
film,
featuring
the
mass
hero
in
a
new
avatar,
has
grabbed
plenty
of
attention
and
this
suggests
that
things
are
on
track.
Now,
here
is
a
big
update
about
Thalapathy
64.
According
to
Valai
Pechu,
the
Theri
star
has
been
paid
Rs
1
crore
as
advance
for
the
movie.
The
buzz
is
that
Thalapathy
64
will
be
a
masala-entertainer
featuring
quite
a
few
engaging
scenes.
It
might
also
highlight
Vijay's
comic
timing,
making
it
a
feast
for
one
and
all.
The
film
stars
Malavika
Mohanan
as
the
female
lead
and
this
has
piqued
the
curiosity
big
time.
Vijay
Sethupathi
is
Vijay's
on-screen
nemesis
in
Thalapathy
64
and
this
is
a
highlight
of
the
flick.
Thalapathy
64
has
young
composer
Anirudh
Ravichander
as
the
music
director,
marking
his
second
collaboration
with
Vijay.
The
grapevine
suggests
that
his
tunes
will
be
a
major
attraction.
Anirudh
and
Vijay
previously
collaborated
for
Kaththi,
impressing
fans.
As
such,
movie
buffs
are
bound
to
have
high
expectations
from
Thalapathy
64.
Meanwhile,
Vijay's
latest
movie
Bigil,
which
released
this
Diwali,
is
doing
pretty
well
at
the
box
office,
proving
he
is
the
man
to
beat.
The
film,
helmed
by
young
director
Atlee,
revolves
around
the
exploits
of
a
soccer
coach
while
touching
upon
women
empowerment.
Bigil
stars
'Lady
Superstar'
Nayanthara
as
the
heroine
and
this
has
added
a
new
dimension
to
the
movie.
Actors
Jackie
Shroff,
Kathir
and
Yogi
Babu
too
are
a
part
of
the
sports-drama.
On
the
other
hand,
Lokesh
Kanagaraj's
Kaithi,
which
released
alongside
Bigil,
is
set
to
become
a
runaway
hit
in
Tamil
Nadu.
The
movie,
featuring
Karthi
in
the
lead,
does
not
have
a
female
lead
and
is
devoid
of
commercial
elements
and
this
makes
its
box
office
performance
simply
phenomenal.
