Thalapathy Vijay fans are on a high with updates on his next release Bigil, coming out rapidly. The movie is also racing towards the release date, which is this year's Deepavali. However, as the festival falls on a Sunday (October 27), the movie is expected to release a couple of days earlier itself. Meanwhile, just a couple of days back, it was announced on August 24th that Thalapathy 64 would be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. This movie, to be produced by Xavier Britto, under his XB Film Creators banner, will have music by Anirudh. Now, there have been a lot of speculations in different sections of the media that Kiara Advani has been signed up to play the heroine in this movie...

However, we checked up on these rumours with our sources close to the Thalapathy 64 development team and they denied this! They vehemently denied having signed up Kiara Advani and state that she would not be in the project. However, the heroine has not been finalised yet and we hear that Dear Comrade fame Rashmika Mandanna is high on the ladder to be roped in for this role. We also have another exciting update on T64. Our sources reveal that this movie would be a gripping thriller and with Lokesh Kanagaraj & Vijay's track record, we can expect ample doses of action too!

The first look poster which was released recently has lead to a lot of speculation that this movie could be centered around a college or some sort of an institution. Sathyan Sooryan will be handling the cinematography while Philominraj will take care of the editing. Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj will be clashing with Vijay for this Deepavali as his second directorial Kaithi will also be releasing on the same day as Vijay's Bigil.
