Thalapathy 67: Thalapathy Vijay-Lokesh Kanagaraj's Action Film To Start Rolling In October?

#Thalapathy67, the much-awaited 67th film of Thalapathy Vijay is currently in its budding stage. Vijay is reuniting with the Vikram director Lokesh Kanagaraj after the massive success of Master, for the untitled venture. As per the latest reports, #Thalapathy67 has been slated to start rolling in October this year.

Interestingly, the young filmmaker is reportedly planning to retain his Vikram crew members and some of the cast members, for the Vijay-starrer as well.

Some unconfirmed reports suggest that actors Narain, Arjun Das, and Jafer, who played pivotal roles in both Kaithi and Vikram, are going to be a part of #Thalapathy67. In that case, the rumours regarding the film being a part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe might be true. However, there is no official confirmation on the same, yet.

As reported earlier, Cinema Vikatan had revealed that legendary actor Kamal Haasan is planning to join the Thalapathy Vijay-starrer as its producer. The sources close to the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial suggest that Kamal Haasan might co-produce the project under his home banner Raaj Kamal Films International (RKFI), along with Lalith Kumar of Seven Screen Studio. If this report comes true, Tamil cinema might witness one of the biggest-ever collaborations in its history with the film.
