“Blast begins with dearest #Thalapathy @actorvijay sir and @Dir_Lokesh once again And this time, it’s gonna be a nuclear blast @7screenstudio @Jagadishbliss Let’s gooo,” tweeted composer Anirudh Ravichander. The film marks his second collaboration with Vijay and Lokesh after Master.

Last week, Lokesh asked fans of Vijay to watch out for major updates on February 1, 2 and 3. The buzz is that the filmmakers are expected to unveil the teaser for Thalapathy 67 on one of these days. It’s expected to be a concept teaser with high production value similar to what Lokesh did with the announcement teaser of Vikram. The first teaser of Vikram didn’t have footage from the actual film. Instead, Lokesh had shot just to give the audience the mood of Vikram and it was a big hit. The anticipation that the teaser created led to a massive opening for Vikram last year. The film became the biggest hit in the career of Kamal Haasan.

The makers are yet to reveal details of the remaining cast. However, the buzz is that the makers have roped in Prithviraj, Sanjay Dutt and Trisha for key roles in the film.

Thalapathy 67 is due in cinemas later this year.
