Decides
To
Cut
Down
The
Budget?Vijay,
the
Thalapathy
of
Tamil
cinema
is
joining
hands
with
director
AR
Murugadoss
once
again
for
his
upcoming
outing
which
has
been
tentatively
titled
Thalapathy
65.
The
project
is
said
to
be
a
sequel
to
Vijay-Murugadoss
duo's
2012-released
blockbuster
Thuppakki.
If
the
latest
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Vijay
will
be
romancing
two
leading
ladies
in
Thalapathy
65.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
Kajal
Aggarwal,
who
appeared
as
the
leading
lady
in
Thuppakki,
is
reprising
her
character
Nisha
in
the
sequel.
As
per
the
latest
reports,
the
team
is
planning
to
rope
in
another
popular
actress
as
the
new
addition
to
the
lead
cast.
According
to
the
rumour
mills,
Pooja
Hegde,
the
Ala
Vaikunthapurramloo
actress
is
in
talks
to
play
the
new
leading
lady
of
Thalapathy
65.
Pooja's
latest
tweet,
in
which
the
actress
confirmed
that
she
will
be
doing
a
Tamil
project
this
year,
has
fueled
the
rumours.
However,
the
sources
suggest
that
the
actress
is
yet
to
sign
the
dotted
line.
Thalapathy
65,
which
marks
the
fourth
collaboration
of
Vijay
and
director
AR
Murugadoss,
is
bankrolled
by
the
renowned
banner
Sun
Pictures.
Reportedly,
the
production
house
has
decided
to
cut
down
the
budget
of
the
project,
which
also
includes
the
remuneration
of
Murugadoss.
If
the
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
filmmaker
will
only
charge
50
percent
of
his
usual
remuneration,
for
the
project.
As
per
the
reports,
lead
actor
Vijay
has
allowed
a
120-days
long
call
sheet
for
the
project,
which
is
expected
to
start
rolling
in
November
2020.
The
movie
is
reportedly
slated
to
be
released
for
Deepavali
2021.
The
sources
also
suggest
that
S
Thaman,
the
popular
musician
has
been
roped
in
to
compose
the
music
for
Thalapathy
65.
The
project
is
expected
to
have
an
official
announcement,
immediately
after
the
all
India
lockdown
comes
to
an
end.
