Thalapathy Vijay who is currently in the USA for the 3D scan for his multiple characters in his next movie 'Thalapathy 68'. Director Venkat Prabhu and producer Archana Kalpathi have also accompanied him.

Now the hot news in Kollywood is that Top Star Prashanth has been approached for a pivotal character in 'Thalapathy 68' and that he is on the verge of giving his nod. It is worth mentioning that during the late 90s Prashanth was the leading young hero in Tamil cinema and commanded much higher fan following and market value than Vijay and Ajith. He is currently awaiting the release of his new movie 'Andhagan' directed by Thiagarajan in which Navarasa Nayagan Karthik, Priya Anand and Simran are playing important characters.

Apart from Prashanth sources say that Madhavan, Prabhu Deva, Simran, Sneha and other big stars are also in talks for important characters in 'Thalapathy 68'. Vijay will reportedly be playing dual roles as father and son and there will also be another surprise character that he will be portraying. Priyanka Arul Mohan is the hot favorite to play the female lead.

'Thalapathy 68' is directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Productions with Yuvan Shankar Raja scoring the music and Siddharth Nuni handling the camera. Official announcements regarding the cast and crew are expected in a few weeks time.
