Jyotika To Star In Thalapathy 68

Thalapathy Vijay’s next, tentatively titled as ‘Thalapathy 68’, has created buzz with its announcement video . The film, which will be directed by Venkat Prabhu, has already confirmed Yuvan Shankar Raja as the music composer and AGS Cinemas as the producer. Major update is the film will feature senior actress as heroine who is also wife of a star hero.

According to the latest reports, Venkat Prabhu is keen on roping in Jyotika for the role. If this happens, it will be a reunion for Vijay and Jyotika after 20 years, who have previously worked together in ‘Kushi’ and ‘Thirumalai’. However, nothing has been finalized yet and Jyotika is yet to give her nod.

Jyotika, who is one of the most sought-after actresses in Tamil cinema, had reportedly turned down an offer to star with Vijay in Atlee’s ‘Mersal’ in 2017. She is currently busy with her Hindi project. She has also wrapped up shooting for her upcoming Malayalam film ‘Kaathal-The Core’, where she will share screen space with Mammooty.

Meanwhile, Venkat Prabhu is also finalizing the rest of the cast and crew for ‘Thalapathy 68’. There are speculations that director-actor SJ Suryah might play the antagonist in the film. The film is expected to go on floors soon and release next year.
