"This is how big dreams begin": Atlee's response to Hollywood actor

Director Atlee is set to present the first visuals of his upcoming film, Bigil, starring ‘Thalapathy’ VIjay making it his third-time association after their previous blockbusters, Theri and Mersal. The hit director will be looking to go one step beyond the successes of his previous two films with Bigil, which is gearing up for a thunderous Diwali release.
