While Thalapathy Vijay fans are busy celebrating his triumphant return to the big screen, they have received an update on his next project. If reports are to be believed, his new movie, tentatively titled ‘Thalapathy 69’ for now, will be helmed by veteran Tamil director H Vinoth and produced by KVN Productions. Scheduled for release in October 2025, the film will be available in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.

The production team, KVN Productions, unveiled a poster for the film on X (formerly known as Twitter), stating, "We are beyond proud & excited to announce that our first Tamil film is Thalapathy 69, directed by the visionary H Vinoth, with music by the sensational rockstar Anirudh.

Tentative Cast

Aside from Thalapathy Vijay, the movie will reportedly feature 'Animal' star Bobby Deol in a villainous role. Rumors about the cast of 'Thalapathy 69', directed by H Vinoth, are circulating widely, with speculations suggesting that Pooja Hegde, Mohanlal, and Mamitha Baiju might be involved. However, the producers have only confirmed Vijay’s participation so far. There is anticipation that actress Simran might also join the cast, though neither the producers nor the actors have verified these claims.
