Vijay, who is currently busy with the shoot of Bigil, directed by Atlee, has finalized his role in the upcoming project, Thalapathy 64, to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

While the crew of the film was recently announced by its makers, there have been a lot of speculations surrounding the movie. One of them is that the film is shot in a college backdrop and that Vijay apparently plays a college student. A news report also suggested that the movie might be a full-length comedy. However, these are just rumors and official announcements regarding the details of the movie are expected to be announced soon.

Produced by Xavier Britto, the crew from the producer's upcoming film 'Kaithi,' starring Karthi, has pretty much been retained for Thalapathy 64. The music of the film will be composed by Anirudh.
