Vijay is on a roll, as after delivering the biggest hit of 2021 so far in Master, he is all charged up to commence shooting for his next film to be produced by Sun Pictures. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the film is currently in the pre-production stage with the team on a recce to Russia as they intend to take Thalapathy 65 on floors around the month of May. And now, Pinkvilla has got an exclusive update on Vijay’s character from this much awaited film.

“It’s going to be Vijay like never before. He plays the role of an agent, who is a master at conning people, in this action thriller that has undertones of humour as well. In a nut shell, we can say, it’s going to be Vijay as a con agent in Thalapathy 65. The exact character sketch and evolution about the element of being an agent and a con man, will be known once the film goes on floors this summer. The above mentioned two aspects (con and agent) is what made the character fascinating for Vijay and got him on board. It's a tailormade role for him,” revealed a source close to the development.

The music of this film is composed by Anirudh whereas there is a buzz across the trade about Pooja Hegde being the female lead and Nawazuddin Siddiqui coming on board as the antagonist. However, an official communication from the production end is still waited. The movie is gearing up for a January 2022 opening in cinema halls across India with the shoot expected to wrap up by the month of September.
