The Thalapathy 64 team had flown to Shimoga, Karnataka for the second schedule about two weeks ago after completing its short five-day schedule at Chennai. The latest is that the lead actor Vijay has completed shooting his portion on the sets in Shimoga and will be heading back to Chennai today. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew will reportedly shoot till the end of the month without the actor.
Thalapathy 64 is being helmed by Kaithi fame director Lokesh Kanagaraj under Xavier Britto’s XB Film Creators banner. Petta fame Malavika Mohanan will be seen opposite Vijay in the action flick. Vijay will reportedly play a professor in this commercial film and will be seen in a new avatar, as compared to his other flicks.
A few days ago, the makers officially announced that Andrea Jeremiah is a part of Thalapathy 64, wishing the actor on her birthday. Actors Nasser, Rajesh, Kaithi fame Dheena and Mahanadi Shankar are also reportedly a part of the cast and have recently joined the sets of the second schedule.
Wishing the multifaceted star @andrea_jeremiah a very happy birthday.
Glad to have you on board for #Thalapathy64
