The Deepavali releases Bigil and Kaithi are taking center-stage and having a very successful run at the theatres. It is already known that following Bigil, Thalapathy Vijay has joined hands with Kaithi director Lokesh Kanagaraj for their next movie, which is currently going by the working title Thalapathy 64. This new movie, bankrolled by Xavier Britto under his XB Film Creators banner, has already gone on floors and the first schedule has been completed. The second schedule is to happen in Delhi, next. We also know that Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi has been roped in to play a vital role in this movie and that Petta girl Malavika Mohanan would be playing one of the female leads. Editor Philominraj, who has worked with Lokesh Kanagaraj in both his movies - Maanagaram and Kaithi will be handling the cuts for Thalapathy 64 as well.

In a recent interview to Galatta, talking about Thalapathy 64, editor Philominraj says, "Thalapathy 64 will also be on the same meter as Kaithi and will not be too commercial. We will only give what the character requires and nothing above or over that. We will definitely not overdo anything. Whatever the character requires, will happen on screen. We are sure we will entertain the audience as there are some goosebumps moments in store for the audience. We know how we will give out the entertainment and we are confident that we can deliver it properly to the audiences. Thalapathy 64 will be in Lokesh's regular pattern. You will definitely see the proper mood setting from my end too, in Thalapathy 64!"

Philominraj also revealed that he knew the story of Thalapathy 64, even before Lokesh narrated it to Vijay. The cast of Thalapathy 64 also includes Shanthnu Bhagyaraj, Mollywood star Antony Varghese and Sriman among others. Vijay is touted to be playing the role of a professor in this movie, which will have music by Rockstar Anirudh and cinematography by Sathyan Sooryan. Both Thalapathy Vijay and director Lokesh Kanagaraj clashed at the Box Office for this Deepavali and both came out victorious and this new project is sure to go to greater heights. Stay tuned...
