Thalpathy 67: Meet the villains of Vijay's gangster drama

Thalapathy 67 (tentative title) is actor Vijay's highly anticipated collaboration with director Lokesh Kanagaraj and we had previously reported that the movie will have around 6 villains in it. We had also reported that actors like Sanjay Dutt and Prithviraj Sukumaran are in consideration to be roped in, and latest we hear the former has officially signed the dotted lines.

 

Additionally director Gautham Menon confirmed during the promotions of his latest release Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu (VTK) that he was approached to play one of the villains, but is yet to know how things are being taken forward.  

 

"Lokesh did call me and say that there is this (villain) role and asked me to do it. But I genuinely do not know what is going on with that (casting)." - Gautham Menon during VTK promotions

 

Thalapathy 67 is touted to be a gangster drama that will see actor Vijay play a don in his 40s, with a salt-and-pepper look. Trisha and Samantha were previously linked to the project as well, but official confirmations await. Thalapathy 67 is being planned as a PAN-Indian release and has its eyes set on Diwali, 2023 to hit theater screens. 

 

The movie is Lokesh Kanagaraj's second film with Vijay after Master (2021) and is expected to begin shooting by October/November this year.
