Popular
Tollywood
producer
Dil
Raju
is
planning
to
back
a
big
pan-India
film
with
Tamil
superstar
Vijay.
Interestingly,
reports
suggest
that
the
makers
of
the
Thalapathy-starrer
are
planning
to
get
actors
from
various
South
Indian
states.
Amidst
all,
Dil
Raju
is
reportedly
interested
to
bring
KGF
director
Prashanth
Neel
on
board
to
direct
#Thalapathy67.
Reportedly,
the
producer
has
also
asked
Prashanth
Neel
to
develop
a
subject
for
the
film.
A
source
close
to
the
development
told
Pinkvilla,
"Dil
Raju
is
keen
to
have
Prashanth
Neel
as
the
director
for
his
mega-budget
South
Indian
film
with
Thalapathy
Vijay
and
the
actor
too
has
shown
his
interest
in
collaborating
with
a
powerhouse
of
talent
like
Prashanth.
Vijay,
Raju
and
Prashanth
have
met
once
recently
to
discuss
the
potential
collaboration,
and
the
meet
ended
on
a
positive
note.
Dil
Raju
and
Vijay
have
asked
Prashanth
to
develop
a
subject
and
more
meetings
will
take
place
in
the
coming
few
months
before
they
lock
onto
all
aspects
of
the
film."
The
ambitious
project
is
expected
to
go
on
floors
in
2023,
as
Vijay
and
Prashanth
Neel
are
busy
with
their
respective
ongoing
projects.
Hence,
only
time
will
clarify
whether
Prashanth
is
directing
Vijay's
next
or
not.
For
the
unversed,
Vijay
will
be
seen
playing
a
con
agent
in
#Thalapathy65,
directed
by
Nelson
Dilipkumar.
The
Tamil
film
will
also
star
Pooja
Hegde
as
the
female
lead.
It
has
to
be
noted
that
Vijay's
last
film
Master,
directed
by
Lokesh
Kanagaraj
performed
exceedingly
well
at
the
box
office.
Coming
back
to
Prashanth
Neel,
the
director
is
busy
working
on
his
next
Salaar,
starring
Prabhas
and
Shruti
Haasan
in
the
lead
roles.
His
upcoming
film
KGF:
Chapter
2
with
Yash
is
scheduled
to
release
on
July
16,
2021,
in
Kannada,
Hindi,
Tamil,
Telugu
and
Malayalam.
