Thalapathy Vijay is gearing up to start work on what could be his final film. Yes, you read that right!
The 50-year-old actor is set to bring his acting career to a close as he transitions into full-time politics, aiming to contribute to society through his political party.
On Saturday, the announcement of his last film, tentatively titled Thalapathy 69, was made.
According to reports, Vijay plans to exit the film industry in style, and with the fee he is earning for this project, he has become the highest-paid actor in India, surpassing the likes of Prabhas, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and others.
Multiple sources indicate that Vijay has charged an astonishing Rs 250 crore for this upcoming project, directed by H. Vinoth. The film is a political drama, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
For his previous release, Greatest of All Time (GOAT), Vijay was paid Rs 200 crore, and he has now raised his fee by Rs 50 crore for his swan song.
Producers had no hesitation in agreeing to this hefty sum, as Vijay has consistently proven his box-office appeal. His films always generate massive buzz, and the first-day collections for his Tamil releases are often record-breaking.
Leading this grand project is visionary director H. Vinoth, promising a narrative that will push boundaries and leave audiences spellbound.
The music, crafted by maestro Anirudh Ravichander, ensures that Vijay’s final film will have a lasting impact.
The production team is stacked with industry heavyweights, including co-producers Jagadish Palanisamy and Lohith N. K, with Venkat K Narayana as the lead producer, all determined to make this film as iconic as the star at its center.
Excitement is at an all-time high as fans across the globe prepare for one last cinematic journey with their beloved Thalapathy.
The announcement has sparked an emotional wave among Vijay's loyal fanbase, who are rallying to ensure this film breaks all existing records.
