Actor Prakash Raj and Tamil superstar Vijay are expected to team up for Thalapathy 66 after almost 12 years. The upcoming bilingual film will be directed by Vamshi Paidipally, and will also mark Vijay’s Telugu debut. The two actors have previously worked together in films like Pokkiri, Ghilli and Sivakasi. Vijay is currently busy shooting for the final leg of Beast, and is expected to join the cast of Thalapathy 66 early next year.
Vijay and Raj were last seen together in Villu. The 2009 action flick was directed by Prabhu Deva, and starred Nayanthara, Ranjitha and Vadivelu in the lead roles.
While the makers have not made any official announcement regarding the inclusion of Prakash Raj in Thalapathy 66, the actor himself has indicated his collaboration with Vijay. The 56-year-old recently said in an interview that he will soon do a film with Vijay. Apart from Tamil superstar, Thalapathy 66, there is no film in the pipeline. The Beast is expected to wrap up soon, anyway.
Beast is directed by Nelson Dilip Kumar who has paired Vijay with Pooja Hegde. The action thriller is bankrolled by Sun Pictures. Anirudh Ravichander is handling the music while Manoj Paramhans is behind the camera. The film is expected to release on Pongal 2022 to clash with Ajith’s Valimai.
Meanwhile, Prakash Raj is currently busy with the Telugu Movie Artists Association (MAA) elections. He is running for the post of president and is pitted against actor Vishnu Manchu. With only a few days left for voting, there is a fierce fight between the two.
According to the Times of India, Prakash Raj alleged that Manchu and his family were using unethical methods to win elections. Manchu also hit back at the 56-year-old, warning him not to drag his family into petty politics.
The MAA elections are to be held on October 10.
