The Beast actor has landed another project before he finishes filming this big-budget comedy with Rashmika Mandanna. Jiiva revealed that Thalapathy Vijay will play the lead in the 100th film of the production company Super Good Films during a recent media appearance to promote his upcoming game show Sarkaar.
He was reported as, "Thalapathy Vijay met RB Chaudary last week and agreed to work on the prestigious 100th production venture. I have been asking my dad to give me a role in the film. I told him that I'd be happy to do the film without getting a remuneration." For those who don't know, RB Chaudary, Jiiva's father, created Super Good Films.
The movie by Lokesh Kanagaraj, temporarily titled Thalapathy67, will also feature Thalapathy Vijay as the lead. Now, we can exclusively reveal that Sanjay Dutt has been cast in this gangster drama's antagonist role. A source reported, "The script demands the presence of multiple powerful villains and who better than Sanjay Dutt to play one of the many baddies in this yet untitled film. Lokesh has been in conversation with Sanjay Dutt for a while now and things have finally fallen in place. The actor is been paid a gigantic amount of Rs 10 crore to act in the film."
The sources also disclosed that Thalapathy67 filming is anticipated to start in October or November of this year. The grapevine also reveals that Prithviraj will also portray a negative character in Lokesh Kanagaraj's filmmaking. The actor is yet to sign the dotted line.
