Thalapathy 66 stars Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna in the lead role and is directed by Vamshi Paidipally

The Tamil-Telugu bilingual will bring Vijay and Rashmika together on screen for the first time. While Vijay is one of the biggest South Indian stars, with large fan bases in multiple states, Rashmika is also one of the biggest fan-favourite stars today.
With the first photos coming out with the two stars together, fans can expect yet another on screen couple that could win their hearts. The two actors can be seen jubilant and enjoying each other’s company in the photos.
Thalapathy 66 is directed by Vamshi Paidipally and this is his second bilingual movie after Thozha (Oopiri In Telugu). While there is no official information about an official title yet, it will be interesting to see if the movie gets different titles in Tamil and Telugu.
The ceremony, which took place in Chennai today, was also attended by producer Dil Raju. He is bankrolling the project under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations. Dil Raju can be seen holding a clapboard along with Vijay and Rashmika.
While there is very little information about the film, fans are hopeful that the movie will hit theatres next year. With fans expecting a Pongal 2023 release, this is a time when many of Vijay’s hit movies such as Kannukkul Nilavu, Friends, Pokiri, and Jilla have been released.
S. Thaman, who has recently impressed with his music in movies such as Bheemla Nayak has been roped in to compose the music for Thalapathy 66. After the official confirmation, Thaman also took to social media to share his excitement about it.
Actor Sarathkumar was also photographed with Vijay during the launch ceremony. The two actors can be seen exchanging greetings.
