Thalapathy
65,
the
upcoming
Vijay
starrer
has
been
making
headlines
lately
after
the
speculations
regarding
director
AR
Murugadoss's
exit
from
the
project
started
doing
rounds.
Now,
the
rumour
mills
suggest
that
Vijay
is
planning
to
team
up
with
director
Perarasu
and
Sri
Thenandal
Films,
for
his
65th
outing
in
Tamil
Cinema.
As
per
the
reports,
the
Master
actor
was
originally
planning
to
team
up
with
director
Perarasu
for
his
66th
film.
The
duo
had
also
decided
to
team
up
with
Sri
Thenandal
Films
for
the
project,
which
is
tentatively
titled
Thalapathy
66.
But
now,
Vijay
is
decided
that
the
Perarasu
project
will
be
his
65th
outing
in
Tamil
cinema.
In
that
case,
it
is
confirmed
that
Vijay
might
not
be
teaming
up
with
Sun
Pictures
for
a
project,
in
the
near
future.
Earlier,
it
was
reported
that
the
banner
is
planning
to
rope
in
a
new
director
for
their
Thalapathy
project
after
AR
Murugadoss's
exit.
But
now,
it
seems
like
things
have
not
materialized
and
the
actor
and
production
banner
mutually
decided
to
back
out
from
the
collaboration.
If
things
proceed
at
the
same
rate,
Thalapathy
65
will
mark
the
collaboration
of
Vijay
and
Perarasu,
after
a
long
gap
of
15
years.
The
duo
has
teamed
up
for
the
blockbuster
movies
Thiruppachi
and
Sivakasi,
both
released
in
2005.
Both
films
have
emerged
as
great
commercial
successes.
Even
Vijay
and
Perarasu
were
supposed
to
join
hands
after
the
two
back
to
back
successes,
the
project
did
not
materialise.
Sri
Thenandal
Films,
on
the
other
hand,
last
teamed
up
with
Vijay
for
the
Atlee
directorial
Mersal,
which
was
released
in
2017.
The
movie,
which
featured
the
actor
in
a
triple
role,
has
earned
blockbuster
status
at
the
box
office.
