The film, provisionally titled Thalapathy 67, is the actor-director duo’s second onscreen collaboration following the huge success of Master. The much-anticipated picture, described as a gangster drama, is part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), the action-crime thriller universe created by director Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Lokesh Kanagraj revealed that the Thalapathy 67 announcement teaser will not be released in January. He also stated that the teaser will be released in the first week of February of this year. However, the director has not revealed the true cause for the teaser’s delay.
The highly awaited production, which is part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe aka LCU, would star Thalapathy Vijay as a criminal in his forties. Trisha Krishnan will play the female lead in the film, reuniting with Vijay after a lengthy absence. Sanjay Dutt, a prominent Bollywood actor, will make his Tamil film debut as the project’s antagonist.
