One of the films that have been in the limelight since the official announcement of the project will definitely have to be Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming project with director Atlee tentatively titled Thalapathy 63. This venture has been in the talks for quite some time mainly for three big reasons. The film marks as Vijay's 3rd collobration with Atlee after Theri and Mersal which turned out to be blockbuster hits. The film ensembles a star cast of Vijay, Nayanthara, Yogi Babu, Vivek, Kathir coming together on screens and the film is touted to have a sports-based storyline.

It was recently made official that, the big bad Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff has officially been roped in to play a very crucial role in this big venture and it is said that he is likely to play the antagonist role in the film.  Jackie Shroff speaking about this with the media he stated that "It's just fab to work with Vijay, who is the son of S. A. Chandrasekhar my director from the film 'Kudrat Ka Kanoon'. So, catching up with his dad and the superstar (Vijay)." The 62-year-old actor called Vijay a "gentle giant and a nice guy".

He also shared a few words about working with Atlee, "Atlee is a great director. I am rocking out there. They are looking after me as a child."



Looks like another Bollywood star is fond of Vijay!
