Lokesh Kanagaraj has confirmed that Thalapathy 67 will be released in January 2023. Thalapathy 67, like his previous three films, Maanagaram, Kaithi, and Vikram, is part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. Lokesh Kanagaraj mentioned that Thalapathy 67 will be “100%” his film. Gautham Vasudev Menon, an actor-filmmaker, has been cast in a pivotal role in Thalapathy 67. Thalapathy 67 will have a few songs. Vishnu Edavan has penned lyrics for the songs, which are composed by Anirudh Ravichander. Apart from Lokesh and Rathna Kumar, the young writer-filmmaker Dheeraj Vaidhi will co-write the dialogues for the movie.
Lokesh revealed that he was under a lot of pressure while making Master because he was given a ‘time limit’ for writing, shooting, and releasing it. When it comes to Thalapathy 67, things are different for the director. He confirmed that the Thalapathy Vijay-starrer does not have a ‘time limit.’
