Thalapathy
66,
the
highly
anticipated
Tamil-Telugu
bilingual
that
features
Thalapathy
Vijay
in
the
lead
role,
started
rolling
recently.
The
project,
which
is
helmed
by
Vamsi
Paidipally,
marks
Vijay's
first
direct
release
in
the
Telugu
language.
Rashmika
Mandanna
is
playing
the
female
lead
in
Thalapathy
66
which
features
some
of
the
finest
talents
of
Indian
cinema
in
its
cast
and
crew.
As
we
reported
earlier,
senior
actor
Prakash
Raj
is
playing
a
key
role
in
the
Vamsi
Paidipally
project,
thus
reuniting
with
Thalapathy
Vijay
after
a
very
long
gap.
Along
with
them,
Thalapathy
66
features
an
extensive
star
cast
including
senior
actors
Sarath
Kumar,
Prabhu,
Srikanth,
Sangeetha,
Jaya
Sudha,
Yogi
Babu,
Samyuktha
Shan,
and
so
on
in
the
supporting
roles.
S
Thaman,
the
celebrated
musician
is
composing
the
songs
and
original
score
for
the
project,
thus
marking
his
first
collaboration
with
Thalapathy
Vijay.
When
it
comes
to
the
technical
crew,
Khartik
Palani
is
the
director
of
photography
of
Thalapathy
66.
Praveen
KL
handles
the
editing
of
the
Vamsi
Paidipally
directorial.
Vivek
has
penned
the
additional
screenplay
and
dialogues.
Prabhu
Deva
handles
the
dance
choreography.
Reportedly,
Thalapathy
Vijay
is
all
set
to
shed
his
action
hero
image
for
Thalapathy
66,
which
is
touted
to
be
a
complete
family
entertainer.
Unlike
his
last
few
outings,
Vijay
will
be
seen
in
the
role
of
a
simple
man
in
the
much-awaited
project.
To
make
the
character
more
authentic
and
relatable,
the
makers
have
reportedly
decided
to
not
have
any
action
sequences
featuring
Vijay
in
the
film.
