The much-awaited announcement about Thalapathy Vijay's next is finally here! While Venkat Prabhu will be helming the project, which is tentatively being referred to as Thalapathy 68, music for the film is by Yuvan Shankar Raja. This is Yuvan's second collaboration for Vijay.

Pudhiya Geethai starred Vijay, Meera Jasmine and Ameesha Patel in the lead. The film was directed by newcomer KP Jagan. This is the only Tamil film of the Kaho Na Pyar Hai actress. The film opened to mixed reviews and failed to set the box office on fire.

Lyrics for the songs were by Vaali, Pa Vijay, Yugabharathi and Vijay Sagar. The background score for the film was by Yuvan's elder brother and composer Karthik Raja.
Though Yuvan Shankar Raja didn't compose any songs for Vijay's films post his only collaboration, he did sing 'Andha Kanna Paathaakka' in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Master (2021). The song was composed by Anirudh Ravichander and had lyrics penned by Vignesh Shivan.
Yuvan Shankar Raja, today, shared his excitement about collaborating with Vijay again. Taking to his social media handle, Yuvan wrote, "@thisisysr Sooo happy to collaborate with @actorvijay after a looooong time Super excited... This is #Thalapathy68 (sic)."
