The Tamil films producer Council have already announced that from May 30th the film industry will go on an indefinite strike to curb piracy. This has made quite a number of Production houses to shift their marketing and release dates to avoid conflicts. The title of Vijay's next film with Atlee will have a date probably by may 28 or even earlier. This is really good news for Vijay fans as they have been waiting for some concrete news.

Reliable sources say that the films title was supposed to be unveiled much earlier but Vijay did not want to have a clash with Ajith's Vivegam and they had to postpone it to the month end. Vijay 61 will see Vijay sporting 3 new avatars​ and have Oscar winner A R Rahman composing the music. The film also has Nithya Menon, Samantha and Kajal playing as the leading ladies.
