Nelson Dilipkumar reveals his dream cast for Vijay’s Thalapathy 69: 'Mahesh Babu, Mammootty, and Shah Rukh Khan'
Nelson Dilipkumar reveals he would cast Mahesh Babu, Mammootty, and Shah Rukh Khan if he were directing Thalapathy Vijay’s 69th flick.
Director Nelson Dilipkumar, who had made the blockbuster hit Jailer in 2023, starring Rajinikanth, recently attended an award function by JFW Binge. During the event, the director was asked about his dream choice for actors if he was directing Thalapathy Vijay’s alleged last film, Thalapathy 69.
The director revealed that if he had been directing Thalapathy 69, starring Thalapathy Vijay, then he would have cast actors Mahesh Babu, Mammootty, and Shah Rukh Khan in key roles. This comes after how the filmmaker had managed to bring in actors like Shiva Rajkumar, Mohanlal, and Jackie Shroff in his film Jailer together.
Nelson reveals his dream cast if he was helming Thalapathy 69
Owing to the success of casting great actors from other regional languages in the Rajinikanth starrer, the director picked out the names of the actors who would be cast as Vijay’s friends if he had to helm the film. However, even though it is unlikely to see such a collaboration, if such a film had happened, it would have been a great satisfaction for fans of Vijay, Mammootty, Mahesh Babu, and Shah Rukh Khan.
Further ahead, the director was also asked who he would cast as the female lead role for which he chose Lady Superstar Nayanthara as his first choice. Interestingly, Nelson has worked with both Thalapathy Vijay and Nayanthara previously.
Back in 2022, Thalapathy Vijay and Nelson Dilipkumar collaborated on the film Beast, where the actor donned the role of an ex-RAW agent who is trapped inside a mall and how he manages to rescue the hostages from the terrorists. Though the film received mixed reviews from critics, it managed to become a box office hit that year. Moreover, Nelson also worked with Nayanthara in his debut venture, Kolamaavu Kokila, a black comedy film that was both a theatrical and critical success.
Coming to the director’s work front, rumors have been rife that he might once again collaborate with Superstar Rajinikanth for his next film. Although an official confirmation is pending, it seems that the hit duo might come together for the sequel of their film Jailer.
