Thalapathy 68: Is THIS Why Vijay Takes A Huge RISK With Venkat Prabhu?

Movie announcement: It was announced last evening that Vijay's next movie will be directed by Venkat Prabhu. Tentatively titled Thalapathy 68, this film started making the headlines even before it was officially announced. Now that the official announcement is out, there is no scarcity for buzz around the movie.

Huge risk: However, fans of Kollywood know that Vijay has never announced his next movie when his present one is still awaiting release. But this time, Vijay reportedly is very confident about his next movie and he decided not to wait for Leo's release to announce his collaboration with Venkat Prabhu.

Cast and crew: While Vijay will be seen playing the lead role, the makers have not yet announced the rest of the cast members. While Yuvan Shankar Raja will compose its music, it will be bankrolled by AGS Entertainment. Let's wait for the makers to come up with more announcements and updates.

About Leo: As far as Leo is concerned, the film is backed by Sun Pictures and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The makers have wrapped up the first shooting schedule in Jammu Kashmir, while the second schedule is being shot in various parts of Chennai. Media reports suggest that the film's shooting will be wrapped up in June.

More details: Leo has Trisha Krishnan as the leading lady, while Sanjay Dutt is on board to play the main antagonist. Filmmaker Gautham Vasudev Menon will be seen playing an important role in Leo. This film will mark the reunion between Vijay and Trisha after several years.

Expectations: Since Lokesh Kanagaraj and Vijay previously delivered a megahit venture titled Master, expectations on Leo are huge. And since Lokesh's previous movie Vikram was a chartbuster and broke several records, this film is grabbing all attention. The makers are yet to announce the official release date of Leo.
