Thalapathy 67: Vishal opens up on being part of the most-expected Vijay, Lokesh Kanagaraj film

Lokesh Kanagaraj's forthcoming project Thalapathy 67 (tentative title) is one of the most-anticipated movies in Kollywood. It was launched officially a few days ago in a hush-hush manner. The announcement of the movie and a few pics from the event are expected to be unveiled in a few days.

Trisha is playing the female lead in the movie, though an official confirmation is awaited from the team. The names of many actors are doing the rounds with regard to essaying crucial characters in it. From Sanjay Dutt to Arjun to Prithviraj, it looks like the film will feature a bevy of actors. 

There have been unconfirmed reports of Vishal, too, being part of the project. Fans of Vijay were excited to see the actor, a self-proclaimed fan of the latter, sharing screen space with their matinee idol. However, the action hero has now clarified that he is not doing Thalapathy 67.

Apparently, he has his hands full because of which he couldn't take up the role offered to him by director Lokesh. But Vishal is confident of teaming up with Vijay in the future. Though Vijay fans are slightly disappointed with this, they now have a reason to cheer up.

In a recent chat with a popular news portal, the actor-producer revealed that he has plans to direct Vijay. He informed that he will approach the Beast star formally with a bound script which suits his image. 

Vishal is currently awaiting the release of Laththi which will hit the screens on December 22. After completing his ongoing film Mark Antony with Adhik Ravichandran, he will start shooting for his debut flick Thupparivalan 2. This will be followed by a project for Karthik Subbaraj's production house.
