The movie, which is tentatively titled Thalapathy 69, has been making headlines with the rumours about its star cast for quite some time.

Mohanlal and Vijay to reunite for Thalapathy 69?

According to the rumour mills, the legendary Malayalam superstar has come on board for Thalapathy 69, which is one of the most anticipated upcoming projects in Tamil cinema. The grapevine suggests that Mohanlal is set to play a pivotal role in the Thalapathy Vijay starrer, which is touted to be a political thriller. In that case, the upcoming H Vinoth directorial will mark the veteran actor’s reunion with Tamil cinema’s biggest crowd-puller, after a long gap of 10 years. However, none of these reports are officially confirmed yet.

Mohanlal and Thalapathy Vijay’s Jilla

For the uninitiated, Mohanlal and Thalapathy Vijay teamed up for the first time in 2014, for the action-drama film Jilla. The movie directed by RT Neason featured the Drishyam actor in the role of Sivan, a mafia don based in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Vijay appeared in the role of Shakti, the adopted son of Sivan who soon became his favourite and confidante.
