Thalapathy 69 genre and more

As per the reports, H Vinoth also revealed that Thalapathy 69 is not a political thriller, as the grapevine suggested earlier. According to the celebrated filmmaker, his first collaboration with Vijay is for an out-and-out commercial entertainer. Interestingly, when the filmmaker was asked about the biggest difference between Ajith and Vijay, he stated that the Valimai actor is an abstract thinker. According to Vinoth, the Leo acto has a simple thought process.

Thalapathy 69 is reportedly set to start rolling in October 2024. Mohanlal, the legendary Malayalam superstar is reportedly roped in to play a pivotal role in the untitled film, which might feature Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Premalu actress Mamitha Baiju, as the female leads. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the songs and the original score. Sathyan Sooryan is the director of photography. The untitled Vijay-starrer is bankrolled by KVN Productions.
