Vijay's
66th
project
tentatively
titled
#Thalapathy66
was
in
the
buzz
right
since
Beast's
inception.
Post
several
speculations,
Tollywood
director
Vamshi
Paidipally
had
confirmed
his
next
with
the
actor
during
a
media
interaction.
He
even
revealed
that
an
official
announcement
about
the
same
will
be
made
in
June
and
the
film
will
go
on
floors
in
2022.
The
big
breaking
definitely
got
Vijay
fans
excited,
however,
a
lot
of
media
reports
later
suggested
that
the
film
has
been
shelved
owing
to
creative
differences
between
the
director
and
actor.
Well,
to
quash
all
the
rumours,
Vijay
has
finally
confirmed
the
project.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
A
close
source
to
the
film
revealed
to
India
Glitz
that
the
superstar
has
already
signed
the
dotted
line
for
the
bilingual
project.
Not
just
that,
the
same
report
suggests
that
the
actor
has
hiked
his
remuneration
for
the
film
and
has
now
become
South
India's
highest-paid
actor.
Though
there
is
no
official
confirmation,
the
report
claims
that
Vijay
has
taken
home
a
humongous
remuneration
that
exceeds
his
current
pay
by
Rs
10-20
crore.
Well,
