Actor Vijay is teaming up with ‘Mankatha’ director Venkat Prabhu for the first time in his career. His new movie ‘Thalapathy 68’ is off the mark, as the whole team associated with the movie joined together for an auspicious start with a Pooja. Venkat Prabhu is a veteran in the field and is known for his high-octane thrillers such as Mankatha, Goa and Saroja. The director's last film ‘Maanaadu’ was a surprise hit across south India and it was refreshing for Venkat Prabhu who suffered a series of defeats after Mankatha in 2011. The prospect of Venkat Prabhu getting back on winning ways has even uplifted the spirits of actor Vijay’s vast wide fan base.

The lakhs of ‘Thalapathy’ Vijay fans had to endure some days of gloom after the much anticipated ‘Leo’ failed to kick a chord with the masses. The makers of the Venkat Prabhu movie have released a short video that gives a smart introduction to the characters of the movie. Venkat Prabhu movie frequenters including Premji Amaran, Vaibhav Babu, Sneha and Aravind Akash will play pivotal roles in the movie. Other major names include Prasanth and Prabhudeva.

Erstwhile dame Laila is returning to the Tamil industry with this movie while Malayalam’s Jayaram will play a prominent role alongside Vijay in this film. The movie will also see Vijay collaborating with Yuvan Shankar Raja for the first time since 2003.
