Reports: Thalapathy Vijay next is a remake?

Kollywood star Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming film with director Venkat Prabhu continues to make progress and headlines. The crew recently returned from Thailand after shooting an intense car chase scene featuring Vijay. 

Meanwhile, the latest reports suggest that Thalapathy Vijay’s next film, tentatively titled Thalapathy 68 is the Tamil remake of the 2012 Hollywood film, Looper.Starring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt. 

The plot of Looper is set in the futuristic year of 2044 where the lead character Joe (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is an assassin, or "looper” who works for the Kansas City crime syndicate.Though it is not confirmed that Thalapathy 68 is the remake of the film Looper, the idea or conceiving of such an interesting plot into the context of Tamil cinema and roping in a massive star like Thalapathy Vijay is indeed an experimental outing. 

If this is true, the film would have a huge impact on action and ride heavily on VFX as well. Co-starring Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead, Thalapathy 68 is being bankrolled by AGS Entertainment on a prestigious note.
