Vijay,
the
Thalapathy
of
Tamil
cinema
is
all
set
to
join
hands
with
popular
filmmaker
AR
Murugadoss
once
again.
The
duo's
upcoming
project,
which
has
been
tentatively
titled
as
Thalapathy
65,
is
expected
to
have
an
official
launch
soon.
In
a
recent
interview,
director
Murugadoss
confirmed
that
the
Vijay
starrer
is
not
a
sequel
to
Thuppakki.
In
his
interview,
the
filmmaker
revealed
that
he
was
originally
planning
a
sequel
to
Thuppakki,
which
marked
his
first
collaboration
with
Vijay.
Kalaipuli
S
Thanu,
the
producer
of
the
blockbuster
movie
also
gave
a
green
signal
to
the
sequel
and
allowed
to
use
the
title
Thuppaki
2
for
the
project.
However,
when
AR
Murugadoss
approached
Vijay
with
the
sequel
idea,
the
actor
made
it
clear
that
he
is
not
interested
in
doing
a
second
part
to
Thuppakki
at
this
point
in
his
career.
Instead,
Vijay
asked
the
director
to
develop
a
fresh
idea
for
Thalapathy
65.
So,
Murugadoss
decided
to
drop
Thuppakki
2
and
narrated
a
fresh
story
to
Vijay.
The
Master
actor
was
impressed
with
the
story
narrated
by
AR
Murugadoss
and
asked
him
to
kickstart
the
scripting.
The
reports
suggest
that
the
actor-director
duo
has
also
struck
a
deal
with
the
renowned
production
banner
Sun
Pictures
for
Thalapathy
65.
In
that
case,
the
project
will
mark
Vijay's
fourth
collaboration
with
AR
Murugadoss,
after
Thuppakki,
Katthi,
and
Sarkar.
The
duo
was
originally
planning
to
launch
the
project
on
the
auspicious
occasion
of
Vinayaka
Chathurthi.
But
they
dropped
the
plan
later,
as
Vijay
instructed
director
AR
Murugadoss
to
make
a
few
changes
in
the
script.
Reportedly,
the
actor
has
decided
to
launch
the
project
officially,
only
after
the
director
completes
the
script.
However,
the
sources
suggest
that
Thalapathy
65
will
get
an
official
launch
very
soon.
