There is a strong buzz that Vijay is all set to make a cameo in SRK’s Jawaan. Now-a-days it is quite common for Bollywood stars to feature in Southern movies (Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan). But Shah Rukh sharing space with Vijay, who is not only a big star in the South but also has a good following across the country, can be the trigger that will drive audience to the theater.
Looking at this picture and just like manifesting a cop+soldier movie with #ShahRukhKhan and #ThalapathyVijay. You never know if Vijay’s cameo in #Jawaan (not confirmed) transcends into a full blown movie by #Atlee next… Another universe… boom! 💥 pic.twitter.com/UDIOtDdtso

While currently, these are just speculations, the click also inspired fans to speculate about other possibilities. For example, a user on Twitter speculated that a soldier or cop movie with Vijay and the Ra One actor in the lead can be planned and if successful it can be developed into a franchise.
Imagine the single screen theatres reactions if there would be a cameo of Thalapathy Vijay in Jawan 🔥🔥🔥#ShahRukhKhan #Vijay #Atlee #Jawan pic.twitter.com/9T9mD9b6cp

Few days back, there were rumours that Thalapathy Vijay was to play a cameo role in SRK's Jawan.
— Shah Rukh Khan Warriors FAN Club (@TeamSRKWarriors) September 22, 2022
Is this pic an unofficial confirmation on those rumours by our Atlee Anna? 🔥#ShahRukhKhan #Vijay #Atlee pic.twitter.com/Oe2abXyLCw
Another user said that the confirmation of Vijay’s cameo in Jawaan in itself will be big news and can ensure power-packed theaters. Both the Beast actor and Shah Rukh are big stars. While the Southern superstar made a big impact post-Corona Pandemic with Beast, Shah Rukh is returning to the silver screen after a gap of more than four years.
Pathaan is expected to be his comeback movie and the anticipation for this film is quite high as it also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in pivotal roles. The pair of Deeps and SRK have delivered some big hits like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year. So, the expectations from Jawaan are quite high.
According to reports, the stars who have magical chemistry on-screen might not star opposite each other in the movie, even though Sam will be playing an important part in the film.
Reports suggest that the Makkhi actress might potray a character with a grey shade in the upcoming film.
Samantha will reportedly be playing a character of negative shade, apparently a cop, and will not be playing Vijay's romantic interest in the film.
Reportedly, the makers are planning to make the official announcement regarding the film by August end. Touted to be a gangster drama, director Lokesh Kanagaraj is currently working on the final script of the film.
The film is scheduled to go on the floors in October, and the film might hit the big screens early next year.
Now, fans of the superstars are super excited, especially the fans of Sam as they expect a stellar performance by her similar to one she played in The Family Man 2.
"Samantha gave nightmares to Srikanth (the cop role played by Manoj Bajpayee in The Family Man 2). We now expect her giving more nightmares to Vijay in the movie," said an elated fan.
On the work front, Samantha was last seen in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadha. She has many projects in her kitty at different stages of production like 'Shaakuntalam' and 'Kushi', 'Yasodha', a Hollywood project 'Arrangement of Love' and Hindi drama 'Citadel'.
The rumoured entry of Vijay Sethupathi and Thalapathy Vijay in SRK's movie, which also stars lady superstar Nayanthara, has made fan go gaga.
If media reports are to be believed, the Tamil superstar will play a special appearance in Atlee's Jawan and he is likely to shoot for his part in September in Chennai.
According to Pinkvilla, Thalapathy Vijay has allotted one day to film his part and he is not charging any fee for the cameo role as he shares a good bond with director Atlee and also Shah Rukh Khan.
Rumours were earlier there that Vijay Sethupathi will soon be joining Jawan as the main antagonist. Sethupathi is one of the actors whom Shah Rukh himself had once praised during an event and said 'you are the most wonderful actor I have seen in my life'.
Jawan is scheduled to hit the theatres on 2nd June 2023, in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
While fans are crazy for his movies, he has a set of dedicated audience who enjoy his dance moves at the fullest. Recently, one of his hook steps in 'Vaathi Coming' song from Master became iconic. Even his recently released movie Beast had a dance number 'Arabic Kuthu' that broke the internet upon its release.
Lately, a throwback video of Vijay is circulating on social media in which a young Vijay is seen dancing happily on stage while celebrating the 175th day of Pokiri. The video uploaded on Instagram by a fan describes the enthusiasm of the actor.
As the caption for the video reads, "While all the other times he had been on stage he has been this shy little kid but this day it was as if the kid was there to have fun. He got on stage with so much enthu started dancing happily."
Further, the caption read, "The bond that Thalapathy Lawrence and Master share has always been way too beautiful and this moment is another proof to it. Master admiring him dance and he joining to perform with him and then they owning the stage was just😍♥️."
Showering praises for Vijay, the fan wrote, "But to me the most favourite part of the video was the way Thalapathy pausing to admire and clapping for the other people dancing. The part of him carrying one of the group members and dancing with them was not just beautiful but something even more than that. Kamal sir admiring the grace and charm of both Thalapathy and the crew is an added beauty."
Pokkiri, starring Vijay and Asin in the lead was helmed by Prabhudeva. It was the Tamil remake of the 2006 Telugu film Pokiri that starred Mahesh Babu. The film was also remade in Hindi in 2009 (Wanted) starring Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia in the lead.
On the work front, after Beast, Vijay is prepping up for Varisu. Fans went gaga after the actor shared his looks from the upcoming flick which also stars Rashmika Mandanna. Helmed by Vamshi Paidipally, the movie is bankrolled by Dil Raju and Sirish. The movie is scheduled for theatrical release in January next year.
Currently, the shooting is in full swing and fans seem to be quite excited for more updates which are obvious from the flooding comments on Vijay's posts. Apart from that, Vijay will be likely seen in Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming, in a cameo role. However, there is no official confirmation regarding that.
The Ormax list released recently shows the top 10 most popular male film stars from India in the last month. And the list shows some shocking inclusions in the top 5 spots. Interestingly, none of the Bollywood stars has made it to the top 5 except Akshay Kumar, the only film star from the Hindi film industry to secure a place on this list.

For last month's results and methodology, visit: https://t.co/pqKpTTgogB pic.twitter.com/fl62ijEb9A
More importantly, the superstar who has topped this list is none other than Beast fame actor Thalapathy Vijay who was the first big star to deliver a massive hit post-opening of the theaters after the Corona pandemic. Most of his movies have been big hits. While in Tamil Nadu he enjoys unparalleled stardom, now it seems he is also very popular among the Indians across the country.
Thalapathy Vijay is followed by Rebel star Prabhas who had delivered a dud in the form of Radhe Shyam a few months ago. But his image as Baahubali is still fresh in the minds of the Indian movie buffs. The third spot goes to KGF 2 fame Yash who rocked as Rockybhai in his last release. Ajith and Akshay Kumar are in the fourth and fifth spots respectively. Other stars who are a part of this top 10 male superstars’ list from India include Allu Arjun, Jr NTR, Ram Charan, Mahesh Babu, and Suriya.
Meanwhile, fans have termed the list as a sign of disaster for Bollywood. "Attitude and lack of dedication are what currently hurting Bollywood. Besides, the rise of OTT platforms and love for raw contents have worked like adding insult to injury," said a fan.
Earlier in May, it was announced that Dhoni is eyeing an entry into the Kollywood as producer. Dhoni then asked Vijay to star in his film. The actor, who is also doing ‘Thalapathy 66’, has accepted the offer. That means it is going to be a double bonanza for the fans.
Vijay will be releasing the first look of his film ‘Thalapathy 66’ on June 21. Then he will announce his association with Dhoni on June 22, which happens to be the actor’s birthday. Not just that, cricket buffs will also witness the former captain make his silver screen debut with a cameo in the film.
Dhoni has been planning to launch his own production house called Dhoni Productions.
Earlier, a film on Dhoni’s life has also come out called MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, in which the lead role was played by late Sushant Singh Rajput. Kiara Advani and Disha Patani had made debut in the film. But that film was produced by Dhoni’s close friend and business partner Arun Pandey.
Famed actor from South India Nayanthara will star in one of the films produced by Dhoni Productions.
However, the loyal fan base of the Tamil actor still have pinned high hopes on Vijay's upcoming flicks.
While South actors are foraying into Bollywood with pan-India projects, Vijay yet hasn't stepped into the Hindi film industry apart from a special appearance in a song from Salman Khan's 'Wanted'. However, it seems, the long-standing desires of fans of Thalapathy from north India will get fulfilled soon.
As per the latest buzz in the industry, Thalapathy will be seen alongside Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in one of his upcoming flicks. Bollywood Badshah recently made an announcement about teaming up with filmmaker Atlee for an action movie titled 'Jawan'.
Best Wishes To King Khan @iamsrk Sir & @Atlee_dir Anna !! ❤️

Filmmaker Atlee is known for helming a string of successful blockbuster flicks in the south like Raja Rani, Theri, Mersal and Bigil to name a few. Even, the South film director shares a good bond with Thalapathy and as the helmer is foraying into Bollywood with Jawan, many are speculating that the director would bring Thalapathy on board in a cameo or special appearance. Even the chances seems to be on the brighter side.
With Jawan, SRK targets to release the movie pan-India in multiple languages. Moreover, fans will be quite excited to see Thalapathy with the Baadshah. Fans need to wait for an official announcement from the makers regarding the inclusion of Thalapathy.
Jawan will arrive in theatres on 2 June 2023 and the first look of SRK has left his fans in a frenzy moment.

Fans are quite excited about 'Thalapathy 66' in which the actor will be once again seen with Rashmika Mandanna. The latest buzz in town suggests that the team is planning to launch the title and first look poster of the flick on June 22, which also marks the birthday of Thalapathy.
The movie has reportedly completed two schedules of filming in Chennai and Hyderabad. The movie is a family drama helmed by Telugu director Vamshi Paidipally and is bankrolled by Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations.
Apart from that, Vijay also has again teamed up with the Master team for the tentatively titled project- Thalapathy67. Lokesh Kanagaraj will helm the movie while more updates regarding the movie are yet to be obtained.
Even, Atlee and Thalapathy will once again come up with another project once the director is done with SRK's Jawan, sources revealed.
While social media is abuzz about the 'sinking boat of Bollywood', the spat between a few actors from both regional film industries and Bollywood fuelled up the controversy. It seems the upcoming days will witness a massive changeover in the Indian film industry.
According to reports, KGF 2 has reported massive advance booking- a record comparable only to Baahubali 2. But even then it might suffer some setbacks because the multiplexes and the PVR owners have decided not to screen KGF 2. These theater owners are reportedly not happy with the profit deal that has been put forth by the team of KGF 2, and that is why they are not going to screen the sequel.
The distribution model for the multiplexes is far different from that offered to the theater owners with a single screen. Also, there is a vast difference in the profit-sharing model when it comes to different regional film industries. And, that is why multiplexes and PVR cinemas are planning not to screen KGF2.
This can be a big setback for Prashanth Neel, Yash, and the team. However, discussions are underway between the producers and theater owners and hopefully, the issue will be resolved before the release of KGF 2.
Coming to Beast, the Thalapathy Vijay movie’s box-office performance might be hampered because within hours of its release, the movie became available for downloading on pirated websites. Fans of Vijay became quite upset after posters stating that the movie is available on given links began to make rounds on social media platforms. Fans of the Tamil superstar urged people not to use the links available on Torrent, Movierulz, and Tamilrockers.net to watch the movie and instead go to the theaters to enjoy it.

Earlier even other big Southern releases like Radhe Shyam and Valimai got leaked online within hours from their theatrical release. If the same thing happens with KGF 2 and if the issue with multiplexes stands unresolved till tomorrow, it may upset the expected performance level of Yash’s sequel.
Meanwhile, the KGF director today took to Twitter and urged people to say 'no to piracy'. He tweeted: "The Fight against piracy starts with you! Please don't take videos & photos and avoid posting them online!"

The writer-director of Tamil's much-awaited movie 'Beast' states that he envisioned that Pooja Hegde would not only spark great chemistry with the star but also would emerge as the perfect fit for the part in the movie.
In an exclusive interaction, Nelson Dilipkumar said, "When we were finalizing the cast for 'Beast', 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo' had also just released. In that movie, Pooja had done a fabulous job and won hearts nationally. I wanted a pairing that would be new and fresh, someone who has never worked with Vijay sir."
Nelson also stated that Pooja had worked hard for the role in 'Beast', even though Tamil is not her native language. "She learned the language and spoke her lines", Nelson Dilipkumar conveyed.
Beast is written and directed by Nelson Dilipkumar and is produced by Sun Pictures. The music of the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
Starring Thalapathy Vijay, Pooja Hegde, Selvaraghavan, Yogi Babu, Lilliput Faruqui, and Ankur Ajit Vikal, the much-awaited movie 'Beast' releases on April 13.
It will be released by UFO Moviez in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on the same day across north India.
Sri Venkateswara Creations, the production house producing the film that is tentatively being referred to as #Thalapathy66, on Tuesday made the official announcement on the occasion of Rashmika's birthday.
The production house tweeted, "Wishing the talented and gorgeous Rashmika Mandanna a very happy birthday! Welcome onboard #Thalapathy66."

Rumours doing the rounds in the industry suggest that the film is likely to begin in a few days time and that full fledged shooting will happen by the end of April.
The grapevine has it that Thaman has been roped in as the music director of the film, which will be a bilingual.
With the release planned in Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi languages simultaneously, the producers have kickstarted the promotions.
As a part of promotions, the Telugu and Hindi versions of the superhit song 'Halamithi Habibo', also known as 'Arabic Kuthu', from the movie, were released on Monday.
Sri Sai Kiran and Raqueeb Alam have penned the Telugu and Hindi lyrics of the song, respectively.
'Arabic Kuthu' has already taken over the country, with viral videos of the dance imitations floating all over social media.
Now that the song is released in Telugu and Hindi, this is expected to further boost the hype around the release.
The trailer shows that a mall called the East Coast Mall is under seige by terrorists and a negotiator (Selvaraghavan) is summoned by the government to have negotiations with them.
The negotiator is relieved to know that an Indian soldier called Veeraraghavan (Vijay), considered to be among the best of spies, is inside the mall.
The trailer shows that Veeraraghavan is not one to take orders even from Ministers. In fact, the negotiator at one point describes him as a 'freaking beast'.
The trailer has triggered huge excitement among fans who gathered outside theatres to watch it on the giant screen.
In fact, the trailer garnered a whopping 2 million views in a matter of just 15 minutes of being released on YouTube. Over 2,60,000 people liked the trailer in 15 minutes flat.
The film, which has Pooja Hegde playing the female lead, is scheduled to hit screens on April 13.
But now Yash himself has requested his fans not to compare these two movies and said that he has immense respect for the Master fame actor as he has proven over the years as one of the best actors in the film industry.
Talking during a press conference for the launch of the trailer of KGF 2, Yash aka Rockybhai said, “When it comes to two movies, it has to be KGF 2 and Beast and not KGF 2 Vs Beast. These films should not be compared because after all, it is cinema and not an election where you have to vote for only one candidate.”
He further added that he respects the seniors in the industry and addressed Vijay as Sir saying that he will definitely watch Vijay’s Beast and expect that Vijay’s fans will also watch KGF 2.

Yash's words, “Let us enjoy both the films” won everyone’s heart at the press conference as he came across as a mature actor who is open to all kinds of healthy competition and has great respect for everyone in the industry.
Beast and KGF 2 are releasing on 13th April and 14th April respectively. Since both the big movies are releasing with a gap of just one day, fans started speculating that there will be a competition between the two.

It was earlier speculated that Vijay's Beast will clash with Yash's KGF Chapter 2 at the Box Office. However, the makers opted to pre-pone the release date and release it a day earlier. Though Vijay's flick will hit the theatres a day ahead, technically both will lock horns at the Box Office.
While the Tamil actor has a separate fan base in the southern region, Yash's fandom sprawls overseas including the several northern states of the country. Meanwhile, fans have been speculating if Beast's earlier release will affect the opening of KGF Chapter 2 on April 14.
Considering the current facts, both the actors have separate fan bases. While Vijay has massive following in the south region as compared to Kannada actor Yash, recently, a few of his songs and hook steps have streamed craze among viewers.
On the other hand, following the success of KGF Chapter 1, the craze for the sequel part is on another level. Even, anticipation among fans is skyrocketing with each passing day. The craze for Yash and KGF 2 has been notably sprawling in northern states as well. The Kannada star has built a fan base even in Mumbai, which is the heartland of Indian cinema.
KGF 2 will be released in multiple languages, including Hindi. Thus, it will be quite easy for Yash to pull the audience to the theatres in large numbers. On the other hand, it is not yet clarified if Beast will release in Hindi or not. Some reports suggest that the makers are in talks to sell the Hindi remake rights. Therefore, under such circumstances, KGF 2 will have maximum access to the audience.
Moreover, KGF is a cash-fetching flick and more theatres across the country will be releasing the movie in comparison with Beast. Well, it can be accurately judged after witnessing the number of theatres releasing KGF Chapter 2 and Beast.
However, all have to wait to witness if Yash's KGF Chapter 2 will lord over Beast or both the flicks will run giving a tough competition to each other. But, the present undercurrents suggest that KGF 2 will triumph over Beast in terms of Box Office collection pan-India.
However, many have also opined that it is not justified to term it as a clash.
Actor-journalist, Avinash Ramachandran Tweeted, "It is not #Beast-#Vijay vs #KGFChapter2-#Yash, It's two homegrown stars from Tamil and Kannada taking over the collective conscience of India's movie-going audience next month.

According to reports, Thalapathy Vijay will be collaborating with Maharshi director Vamshi Paidipally for his upcoming movie which will be produced by Dil Raju and Shirish. The movie is tentatively titled 'Thalapathy 66'.
Reportedly, Rashmika has been roped in to romance Thalapathy Vijay in the untitled film. However, an official confirmation from the maker and the actress on the same is still awaited.
Earlier, the makers reportedly wanted to cast either Pooja Hegde or Kiara Advani to play the female lead but later they zeroed in on Rashmika.
So, if the reports are true, this will be the first time the Pushpa actress will romance Thalapathy Vijay.
According to sources, the film is scheduled to go on floors from April 2 at Gokulam Studios in Chennai with a song sequence featuring Rashmika and Thalapathy Vijay, which Thaman is composing.
Notably, Rashmika in many interviews has admired Thalapathy Vijay and admitted him of being her favourite star.
On the work front, Rashmika is gearing up for the release of her upcoming Telugu film Aadavallu Meeku Johaarlu alongside Sharwanand. She will also be making her Bollywood debut this year with "Mission Majnu" opposite Sidharth Malhotra.
The 'Arabic Kuthu Challenge' from Beast makers has also gone viral with many celebs and fans making videos of their own versions. And the latest to join the trend is South Diva Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu not only attempted the challenge but she also completely aced it with her moves at an airport while catching a late-night flight.
Sharing the fun video on Instagram, Sam wrote "Just another late night flight … NOT!! Rhythm for tonight be #HalamithiHabibo. This song is beyond lit #Beast."
In the video, Sam can be seen donning a casual airport look, which consisted of a denim jacket, a grey crop top and black ripped jeans with white sneakers.
As soon as Samantha posted the video, her friends and fans started commenting on the post.
Actress Sanya Malhotra dropped fire emoticons in the comments section, Ayushmann Khuranna also liked the post.
The song's composer Anirudh Ravichander also dropped fire and raising hands emojis. Pooja Hedge also shared the post on her Insta stories and wrote 'amazee' with clapping emojis.
On the work front, Samantha was last seen in Allu Arjun’s film Pushpa: The Rise in which she had a special appearance. She is awaiting the release of Vignesh Shivan’s Kaathuvaakula Rendu Ka alongside Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi which will hit the screens on April 28 this year.

Undoubtedly, at present, the popularity of Yash’s Rocky Bhai is comparatively more across all the states of India.

The dubbed Hindi version of KGF was welcomed with a good response in the Northern belt. On the other hand, Vijay’s Master which was released on last Sankranthi simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi failed to make an impact on the Hindi audience. But it was a big hit in the Southern belt and Thalapathy Vijay is expected to repeat the same feat with Beast which also stars the current top actress of South- Pooja Hegde.

This CLASH must be AVOIDED.
Please don't release #Beast in Hindi .Becoz your promortion strategy is very poor if U R releasing it on PAN india.

There are still a couple of months left for both these movies to hit the theaters. But fans of the KGF franchise and Vijay have already started discussing the fate of these flicks. Continuously, they are discussing which movie will beat the other.
A few fans believe that there is no comparison between KGF 2 and Beast because while Vijay has a very good hold in Tamil Nadu, Yash is a well-known face in the North belt. So, there are chances that Beast will beat KGF 2 in the South whereas Thalapathy’s charm may not work in the North against Yash’s Rocky Bhai.

A few fans are of the view that Beast will easily beat KGF 2 in the South and Yash’s movie may not do good in Bollywood because most of the B-town families do not favour watching flicks with a high degree of violence. There is also a train of thought on social media that the hype around KGF 2 is mostly among the young generation whereas matured and older people will still favour Beast over the KGF sequel.
The outcome will be known once the movies hit the theaters. But undoubtedly, it is going to be the biggest clash and as the release date will come nearer, the hype is sure to escalate further.

In an interview with the international magazine, Vanity Fair, the actress opened up about her major breakthroughs in her career starting from winning the coveted Miss World pageant in 2000 to starring in 'The Matrix Resurrections.
Speaking about her first debut movie 'Thamizhan' opposite Thalapathy, she revealed that working with Vijay was a big learning experience for her.
"The first few movies that I did were a Tamil movie called Tamizhan and two Hindi movies - Andaaz and The Hero. They were tagged to be really big movies. And I remember walking onto the sets not knowing anything and thinking that acting was all about the clothes you wear and the makeup that you get done. And then I walked onto a set and I had to think about how to take these words on a paper and make them a person, and that was terrifying," said Priyanka.
She revealed how Vijay was one of the first few influences in her life and how he taught him one of the important life lessons which she still follows.
"I remember Tamizhan, which was really difficult for me as I did not know Tamil as a language. I was learning it phonetically, memorising it, understanding the meaning behind it, and then saying my lines. But, I loved watching my co-actor Vijay - he was one of the first few influences in my life. He had tremendous humility on set. Once he comes onto the set, he never leaves the set. And that's something I do even now," added PeeCee.

Ghajini-fame Murugadoss Was Dropped as Director Midway
When the discussions for Beast started, Murguadoss was confirmed to be on the board as director. However, the budget was tight as the film was delayed due to a pandemic. Even Thalapathy Vijay who was earlier promised Rs 100 crore as remuneration decided to cut down his fees by 30%. The makers requested Murguadoss to cut down his fees as his last movie Darbar starring Rajinikanth did not do well at the box office. But the Ghajini-fame director refused and hence was replaced by Nelson Dilipkumar.

Pooja Hegde reportedly is taking Rs 3.5 crore as fees for Beast which is one of the highest amounts offered to any of the Southern actresses to date.
Beast was scheduled to release on Pongal in 2022. But due to production delays, the movie will now release in April 2022.
The example of Thalapathy Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu indicates that no one is above law. Samantha a few days ago filed a case against a few YouTube channels for allegedly streaming malicious content about her. Surprisingly, instead of punishing the YouTube channel owners, Hyderabad’s Kukatpally court instead slammed Sam and schooled the 34-year-old actress in strong words.
The court said that the celebrities share all their personal details on their social media pages and then file for defamation cases. Instead, the court added Samantha should seek an apology from the opponents. Thalapathy Vijay was also slammed by the court in 2012 when he requested an exemption on Entry Tax for his Rolls Royce Ghost car imported from the UK. Rather the court made him pay Rs 1 lakh to the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's Public Relief Fund.
Coming to Bollywood, the Aryan Khan’s arrest was a big surprise to all the members of the Hindi film industry. What has been more shocking is that despite all his name and power Shah Rukh Khan has been unable to get bail for his eldest son despite recruiting the topmost names for the legal process. If the son of Bollywood’s Badshah Khan has to remain in custody for more than 20 days then it does indicate that law is equal for everyone.
Ananya Panday’s chats with Aryan Khan related to drug use have also put her in a soup. She has been called twice for questioning and will again appear on Monday for the same. Importantly, B-town actresses are used to being late and waiting for on the sets. But when she appeared late twice for questioning at the NCB office, Sameer Wankhede lambasted her for getting late which points out that being beautiful, powerful, and famous do not always protect you from the wrath of the law if you are at the wrong end.
Jacqueline Fernandez has been avoiding appearing for questioning in the money laundering case. However, due to persistent pressure and to avoid arrest she finally appeared before the ED and gave her statement. She is being questioned in a 200-crore money laundering case that involves Sukesh Chandrashekhar and his wife Leena Maria Paul. Lawyer of Sukhesh has said that his client was dating the Kick actress which Jacqueline has vehemently denied.
Sukesh has also said that he has gifted a luxurious car to Saki Saki dancer Nora Fatehi which he bought using the extortion money. During her questioning session with ED, Nora said that she was invited by Sukesh and his wife for an event but is not part of the money laundering case.
The Tamil superstar recently moved a court in Chennai and filed a lawsuit against 11 people, including his father SA Chandrasekar and his mother Shoba.
According to a national media (India.com), the issue began when the actor's father Chandrasekar announced that his son is interested in politics and even took steps to register a party in Vijay's name.
The actor's father made his mother Shobha the treasurer of the party while his relative Padmanabhan was named the party President.
After that, Joseph Vijay, popularly known as Thalapathy Vijay filed lawsuit against 11 people to restrain them from using his name. As per the lawsuit, Vijay has said that he did not grant permission to anyone to start any party.
In a statement, Vijay clarified that no one is allowed to use his name to organise public meetings and gatherings. The case is likely to be heard on September 27.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Vijay recently completed shoot for his upcoming film -'Beast'. He was last seen in the Tamil action-drama Master, which grossed over Rs 200 crore at the box office.
Video Editor: Partha Narayan Das
Producer: Sanchita Mondal
Thalapathy Vijay starring Beast's shooting is currently underway in full swing at Sree Gokulam Studios near Chennai where high-octane action sequences are being shot. However, unfortunately, reports are there that the storyline of the movie has been leaked online.
According to the leaked plotline, Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko, who is essaying one of the antagonists in the movie, takes a large number of shoppers as hostage in a mall while Thalapathy Vijay, who is playing a special agent in the movie, turns into 'beast' mode to rescue the hostages from the villain's net.
However, we will have to wait and watch the film to know if this is the exact depiction or not but it sounds too exciting and it will be a treat for fans to watch Vijay in the 'beast' mode.
Meanwhile, actress Pooja Hegde, who is currently having multiple projects in her kitty, was slammed by director RK Selvamani for allegedly invoking high production costs. Recently, Selvamani came down heavily on Pooja alleging that the actress, after attaining stardom, has been putting additional burden on the producers.
According to Selvamani, Pooja is bringing as many as 12 people to shooting locations which is incurring additional burden on the producers. He said, "What’s the need for her to bring 12 people to the shooting location along with her? It invokes high production costs that affect the producers?"
However, there has been no comment from the actress or her team on the issue yet.
Actress Shilpa Shetty, who was missing from Super Dancer Chapter 4 since her husband and businessman Raj Kundra’s arrest in the adult films case, has finally returned to the show. However, she reportedly broke down on the first day of the shoot after her return.
Shilpa was spotted entering the Super Dancer sets in a blue-red floral printed sari looking beautiful.
According to a Bollywood Life report, "Shilpa was welcomed warmly by the Super Dancer team, the judges and the contestants who made her quite emotional. Shilpa got teary-eyed and the team of Super Dancer were seen consoling her.

Recently, the Majili actress nailed her character in The Family Man: Season 2 web series which also starred Manoj Bajpayee in the lead.
Sam, who made her acting debut with Ye Maaya Chesave (Telugu movie) in 2010 opposite Naga Chaitanya, has already made it to the A-list actors in the female category. She is among the first choices of producers and directors in the Telugu and Tamil film industries.
The U-Turn actress has earned several accolades and appreciation for her beautiful acting. And this is why she has so far bagged prime roles in around 47 films.
On Monday, Tamil actor-comedian Yogi Babu shared a video clip on his verified Twitter handle and Sam retweeted the post by captioning it with red hearts. The clip was from 2017 movie 'Mersal' in which she is seen alongside star actor Thalapathy Vijay.

The Rangasthalam actress has shared screen space with Thalapathy Vijay in Theri, Kaththi and Mersal. The pair was widely adored by movie lovers and fans are also waiting to see more movies of the duo.
The clip from Mersal has fuelled discussions after the actress shared it on her Twitter handle.
What made the clip most hilarious was - Samantha was addressing Vijay as Tampi/ Thambi and the 'Master' actor referred to her as Akka which means brother (Tampi/ Thambi) and sister (Akka) in Tamil.
Vijay played a triple role in the movie alongside South beauties Kajal Aggarwal, Nithya Menen and Samantha.
Now the clip has triggered hilarious comments from fans and movie lovers.
One user commented, " This happens when you meet a girl for first time and she instead of calling u as a friend she call you bro."
While another user noted, " this scene always cracks me up every time"
The list of comments on YouTube on the same video also included: "Rosemilk became world famous because of this scene. The share market for rosemilk Rose High. Happy birthday Handsome vijay Anna. Love you."
The comment box also featured: "In subtitles she called him bro more than hundred time."
It certainly feels awkward to see a loving couple (on-screen) referring each other as brother and sister, isn't it!
When one of the fans asked how many times she smoked cigarettes, the Dear Comrade actress said that she does not smoke and cannot stand people who do smoking. The actress also opened up about her experience of working with the Stylish Star Allu Arjun. She said that she loved working in Pushpa with Allu Arjun and that the actor is fun to work with.
Rashmika Mandanna further added that Allu Arjun is an amazing actor and a brilliant dancer and enjoyed working with him. The actress also spoke a few lines in Hindi which she learned a couple of months ago during the shooting of Mission Majnu.
The heart crush of India showed her witty side when a fan wished to marry her. In reply, the Southern superstar shared a video on her Instagram story asking the fan to at least propose nicely to her. Rashoo was expected to work with South Indian superstar Thalapathy Vijay in Beast. But somehow things did not materialize. So as expected the role went to Pooja Hegde.
However, in yesterday’s Q and A session, the actress promised fans that they will see her sharing the screen with the Master-fame actor very soon. She also revealed that she is well-versed in six languages making her a true multilingual star. She has already worked in Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada movies and will be next seen in Hindi movies with Sidharth Malhotra and Amitabh Bachchan in Mission Majnu and Goodbye respectively.
Even before making her debut in Bollywood, Rashmika Mandanna has already created a place for herself in B-town with the paparazzi following her at every footstep.
As per reports, the interesting storyline and success of Master, starring Thalapathy Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi, has grabbed B-town’s interest. Master is already geared up for a Hindi remake and the producers are planning to rob in top names for the hero and villain roles for the clash.

The makers are currently rewriting the script as they will have to do some changes in the film to suit the Hindi audience. Now as per the latest development, the makers have approached superstar Salman Khan for the lead role of the Master. If things fall into place, it will be interesting to see how he gives the character his own edge.
Actors have also been approached for the role of the baddie Bhavani but no one has been finalized or locked in as it is a crucial and powerful role. Only with time, the details of the remake can come to the surface.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan is all set to release his action drama Radhe in theatres on the occasion of Eid. Out of all, three of his films are set ready for release; his upcoming roster also includes Antim, Tiger 3, Kick 2, and Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.

As per the latest buzz, Dil Raju who has recently encashing his commercial hit that is Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab has already started planning for his next big-ticket movie with none other than South superstar Vijay. Reportedly the movie will be a bilingual project with Maharshi fame Vamsi Paidipally as the director.
Dil Raju who is known for producing massive budgets movies is likewise planning a huge budget for this Vijay starrer as well. Given the fact that this will be Vijay’s first out and out Telugu movie, the project is going to be huge and so is Vijay’s paycheck.
Thalapathy is one of the most expensive actors in the country and charges approximately Rs.80 crore for a single project. Now as per the latest reports, keeping in mind Vijay’s last outing Master was a massive success and his bankability, Dil Raju is offering him an even higher paycheck. The budget of the film is around Rs 160 and Vijay is reportedly going to get paid more than fifty per cent of the entire budget which around Rs 80 - 90 crore.
The Vijay and Dil Raju collaborated project might hit the screen in 2021, on the other hand, the cast and storyline details of the film have been kept under the wraps for now. Keeping in mind Vijay’s packed schedule, the film will roll out towards 2022.
Currently, Thalapathy Vijay is busy shooting his tentatively titled Thalapathy 65 where he will be seen opposite Pooja Hedge.
In the latest promo of the upcoming episode of Dance Deewane, Nora is seen dancing to Vijay’s super hit jam ‘Vaathi Coming’ with the contestants of the show. The song Thalapathy’s latest release Master instantly became a chartbuster as Vijay is seen dancing to the tunes in swag.
The popularity of the song is so high that a number of celebrities have recreated their own version and danced to the song. The latest to join the trend was the Moroccan beauty.
In the video, Nora is seen wearing a shimmery flower pantsuit and dancing with the contestants while she takes the lead. She recreates Vijay’s hook-step in Vaathi Coming and then adds her own fun touch to it.
In another promo, Nora is seen performing her own super hit song Garmi in a different fashion and mesmerising the contestants and other judges.
Earlier, Deepika Padukone’s reel video, where she was seen to be giving her own take on the hit song Vaathi Coming, created a storm on the internet. The Bollywood diva incorporated the song into her reel that made the fans curious if she is hinting at a possible collaboration with the Thalapathy.
The poster has the actor featured in dual roles of father and son. From what is evident, the father might be a gangster and the son would be a foot-ball coach. The actor published the poster on his Instagram handle.

Samantha is one of those actresses who never get bullied to rumours or trolls. She always hits back and stands for a cause. She has started her own NGO, Pratyusha Support, to provide medical support for women and children.
Besides, recently, she initiated the 'One Bucket’ Challenge to create awareness among the public and her fans to save water. As per the ‘One Bucket’ Challenge, an individual is supposed to use only one bucket of water for one whole day which includes brushing, bathing, wash hands etc.
Moreover, the Super Deluxe star with a huge fan following on social media often shares her jaw-dropping pictures for her fans. Recently, she shared two stunning pictures of her on her Instagram. She was in a printed attire and golden button earrings in the picture. "Stand and deal," she captioned the pic.
While the picture has got already over 458,700 likes within a short span of time, one of her fans commented on her post- 'Thalapathy Vijay Look'. Many others also found the look of Sam at par with Vijay's signature style.
Samantha and Vijay were last seen in Theri. Fans like the Sam-Vijay jodi and want the duo to come together once again in a new project.
On the work front, Samantha Akkineni will next be seen in cameo appearance in Rahul Ravindran's Manmadhudu 2. The romantic comedy flick is slated to hit the theatre on August 9, 2019.
Currently, Samantha is shooting for the Telugu remake of Tamil movie '96' that originally starred Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha.
In DeePee’s latest reel video, she is seen to be giving her own take on the hit song Vaathi Coming. The song is from Tamil superstar Vijay’s movie Master that has become a chartbuster. The Bollywood diva incorporated the song into her reel that made the fans curious if she is hinting at a possible collaboration with the Thalapathy.
In the video captioned as “BTS of BTS!”, the actress asks first if one montage of her walking is enough, then several walking scenes are edited together in various outfits. While most were loving the South twist to her reel, few BTS Army also marked their attendance in the comments section as they thought the caption was related to their idol band.

Over the next months, the audience will witness North and South stars coming together. From Vijay Deverakonda stars with Ananya Panday in Liger to Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn in RRR with Ram Charan and Jr NTR, the list keeps getting longer.
Deepika Padukone is also caught up with the trend as she has teamed up with Prabhas and Amitabh Bachchan for her Telegu debut. Directed by Mahanati fame Nag Ashwin, the film remains untitled till now.
A film production house and the residence of Vijay were among the premises that came under the searches since Wednesday.
The actor's investment in immovable properties and remuneration from the production firm for his recent movie ('Bigil') is the "subject matter of investigation in the present search," the department said.
State Congress chief K S Alagiri rallied behind Vijay and said there were chances that the searches could be aimed at "intimidating" the actor.
He recalled that Vijay had courted controversy over certain dialogues against the GST and demonetisation in his film "Mersal" in 2017 with the BJP leaders opposing it.
Though the department did not name anyone who came under its scanner, sources said the production house was AGS Entertainment that produced 'Bigil,' last year and the financier was Madurai-based Anbu Chezhian.
The raids in as many as 38 premises in different parts of the state led to the concealment of income which is likely to exceed Rs 300 crore, the I-T department said in a release here adding searches in some of these premises were still continuing.
"The common thread among all these entities (film producer, actor, distributor and financier) was the success of a recent film which was a box office hit collecting around Rs 300 crore," the release said.
The department termed the seizure of unaccounted cash of about Rs 77 crore from "hideouts and secret places located at Chennai and Madurai, purportedly belonging to the financier," as the "highlight," of the search.
Large number of property documents, promissory notes, post-dated cheques taken as collateral security were recovered during the search and these have been seized.
"As per evidence detected during the search, it is estimated that the concealment, in this case, is likely to exceed Rs 300 crore."
The distributor, who is a part of the group that was searched, is also a builder. All documents in original, belonging to the distributor have been recovered from a hideout, which was the house of his friend, the I T release said. "Scrutiny of evidence unearthed is under progress."
The film production house is also involved in businesses of distribution and running multiplexes and has produced several movies.
"Analysis of the accounts available in the office premises (of the film producer) is under process. Evidence of actual receipts and expenses booked and remuneration paid to artists is under investigation."
The searches were conducted after a tip-off about suspected tax evasion following the success of 'Bigil', sources said.

As a treat to his fans, the superstar shared Master emoji on Twitter which has already received 100k plus likes.
https://twitter.com/BTP_Offl/status/1345060392381214720
It is just an indication of how much fans are eagerly waiting for the release of Thalapathy Vijay's Master to come in theaters.
https://twitter.com/OnlineVijayFC/status/1344670741564772353
Teasers and trailers are now a common part of the promotion of any grand movie release. While the teaser of Master has already been released Seven Screen Studio and XB Film Creators who are jointly bankrolling this flick have decided to skip the trailer.
According to Behind Woods, the makers believe that this will enhance the anticipation and excitement for the movie and draw more people to the theaters.
https://twitter.com/INOXMovies/status/1345021603420098560
Helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Master also stars big names like Malavika Mohanan, Vijay Sethupathi, Shanthnu, Gouri G Kishan, Andrea, and Arjun Das. Malavika will be the female lead in this flick whereas Vijay Sethupathi is portraying the lead antagonist.
Thalapathy Vijay's Master will be a multi-lingual movie releasing simultaneously in Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada. Earlier the production house released the teaser of Master in Hindi and now they have confirmed its Kannada version as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhKF9-RZxYs
A song-Kutto Story in Telugu from Master released on 25 December last year has already attracted 116K views and is a big hit with the Bigil actor fans.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJF74ZyMLy0
Master was supposed to hit the theaters in summer 2020 but was delayed due to the corona pandemic. And that is the reason the anticipation for this first release of a megastar is very high. Apart from Master, Thalapathy Vijay has also been roped in to play the lead in Sun Pictures' next to be directed by Nelson Dilipkumar.
Thalapathy Vijay's Master is one of the most awaited South Indian movies at present. Originally made in Tamil, it has also been dubbed in Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. The Hindi film has been titled Vijay The Master and will release on 14 January. Special promotions of the flick to woo the Bollywood audience has been lined up.
A day ago the makers launched the Hindi trailer of Vijay The Master on the internet. If the trailer is any indication then the movie is going to be a high-action drama with special Thalapathy Vijay moves.
https://twitter.com/taran_adarsh/status/1347049836089020417
Its song Vaathi Coming has already become a big hit on the internet with more than 100 million YouTube views. Interestingly, the makers are planning to drop new promos regularly for a few days till the release of the movie to ensure that the Bollywood audience is wooed and kept engaged.

Prabhas is another star who seems quite eager to establish his superstardom in Bollywood. He has already received pan India recognition with Baahubali but failed to take the success further with Saaho. However, the current lineup of movies that the Tollywood superstar has is sure to help him carve a place for himself in Bollywood.
View this post on Instagram
Apart from working with big Bollywood directors like Tanhaji fame Om Raut in Adipurush, Prabhas is also working with A-listed B-town stars like Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, Kriti Sanon, Saif Ali Khan in his upcoming movies. Prabhas is already doing Radhe Shyam with Pooja Hegde who is now getting recognition in Bollywood. His next with Prashanth Neel will most probably have John Abraham as the lead antagonist.

According to rumors, makers are interested in signing two Bollywood actresses for Salaar and are in discussion with current B-town heartthrobs Kiara Advani, Disha Patani, and Shraddha Kapoor.
Vijay Deverakonda will make his official debut in Bollywood with Ananya Panday in Dharma Productions Fighter. The pan India movie will be made in Hindi and Telugu and also have dubbed versions in a few regional languages.

This is not the first time that South Indian stars are trying to achieve mega success in Bollywood. Even earlier Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Nagarjuna, Chiranjeevi worked in Hindi movies but could not achieve the level of success needed to become a superstar in Bollywood.
However, times have changed. With social media uniting regional and pan India audiences on one platform, Southern stars like Thalapathy Vijay, Prabhas, or Vijay Deverakonda have a better chance to make it big as pan India superstar.

Master is all set to get a huge release in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and all South Indian states. According to reports all the screens in Kerala (around 80%) that are reopening will screen Master. One of the major reasons why the theater exhibitors are ready to offer Master their screen is because Thalapathy Vijay waited for its theatrical release instead of opting for OTT options.

https://twitter.com/vasireddy1905/status/1348643558622855169
Reports also say that there have been huge advance booking for Master indicating that the movie is on the verge of creating a box-office record. Leading film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi updated the current advance booking status for Master.
He wrote, "Insane advance bookings for #ThalapathyVijay@actorvijay’s #Master all over Tamil Nadu! Truly hope the film can make an impact in north India & heat up the exhibition sector’s engines. #VijayTheMaster#MasterPongal #Thalapathy."

Fans of Thalapathy Vijay became anxious when news about some scenes from the movie getting leaked surfaced online. But there has been no such confirmation from the makers.
https://twitter.com/kumarjeevan591/status/1348657007272763392
While Master seems to be all set to make it big in South India, the success of the movie in the Northern territory is still questionable. Vijay fans believe that promotions of Master in North India are not adequate. Still, if the film happens to be good, through word of mouth Master might pick up in the Hindi-speaking belt.

Thalapathy Vijay's fans who are eagerly awaiting the release of Master also requested not to share the leaked clips.
https://twitter.com/aDiTyA01185865/status/1348887987140972544
Even the director of Master Lokesh Kangaraj appealed not to share the leaked footage of the movie. He wrote, "Dear all It's been a 1.5-year-long struggle to bring Master to u. All we have is hope that you'll enjoy it in theatres. If u come across leaked clips from the movie, please don't share them. Thank u all. Love u all. One more day and #Master is all yours."

The good news is that the insider person who has been behind this dubious act has finally been tracked. According to Sify.com, he is none other than an employee at the Sony Digital Company. Now the company is planning legal action against him.
While most of the fans of Thalapathy Vijay were irked and disappointed with this incident, there are a few who believe that the leak actually has worked in favor of Master. They believe that the leaked footage has rather enhanced the anticipation and excitement for the movie.

While piracy is certainly bad, this time around it may not affect the box-office collection of Master as most of the shows of the first two days are already booked in advance. Thalapathy Vijay's fans even flouted the corona norms to make sure that they get the tickets.

Master will release tomorrow in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada. A dubbed version in Hindi will be released in North India simultaneously.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Master also features Malavika Mohanan, Arjun Das, Andrea Jeremiah and Shanthanu Bhagyaraj in pivotal roles.
The makers have also planned to release the film dubbed in Hindi on January 14 in cinemas across North India.
However, in the pictures which are doing rounds on social media , it can be seen fans were rushing to advance-book tickets and were are clearly in the mood to relax social distancing norms.
Film trade analyst Komal Nahta on Tuesday tweeted photographs of the crowd outside a multiplex in the city for tickets of the Tamil action drama, which hits theatres on January 13.
"People in queue at Miraj multiplex in Coimbatore to buy tickets for tomorrow's show of 'Master'!!" Nahta tweeted.
Netizens reacted to the pictures of the huge que outside the multiplex.
"Crazy. No social distancing. Looks like theatres need to be closed again to protect people from themselves!" commented a user.
"Public come back 100 % occupancy india," shared another user.
Casting for the Hindi adaptation is expected to begin soon. Informing about the same, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: "IT'S OFFICIAL... #MASTER #HINDI REMAKE... #Master - starring #Vijay and #VijaySethupathi - will now be remade in #Hindi... Endemol Shine India, Murad Khetani [Cine1 Studios] and 7 Screen Studio will produce the #Hindi adaptation... Casting for #Hindi remake will commence soon."

Meanwhile, Master has witnessed a huge box office opening in its first three days in Tamil Nadu.
Trade analyst Kaushik LM tweeted: "#Master smashes past the 50 CR gross mark in TN today (the third day). 3-days total TN gross will be close to 55 CR. Boxoffice Monster #ThalapathyVijay has made it look like the good-old days. Pongal time assaultuu by #MasterFilm. #MasterPongal #Thalapathy #VijaySethupathi."

The latest news is that Vijay will be signing a new project with the director of Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru and Nerkonda Paarvai- H Vinoth. It should be noted earlier after the release of the political thriller Sarkar, Vinoth had offered Vijay another politically-oriented movie. But at that time the superstar did not want to get trapped in a typical serious image and hence turned it down.
The new buzz suggests that Thalapathy Vijay's next with Vinoth will be bankrolled by 7 Screen Studio of Lalit Kumar who is the worldwide distributor of the recent megahit Master.

Vijay has already given a nod to star in #thalapathy65. The latest buzz is that Arun Vijay who played the lead antagonist in Ajith's Yennai Arindhaal will be playing the villain in this movie. Also, reports are that makers are in talks with Pooja Hegde to play the female lead with Thalapathy Vijay.

The announcement for #thalapathy65 was made by Sun Pictures which is producing the flick. It is most likely to go on the floors next month. However, Thalapathy Vijay wants all the star cast to be finalized by the end of January 2021 and most probably the makers will announce the name of Pooja Hegde soon as the female lead.

Also, the buzz says that Sun Pictures is planning a grand Diwali 2021 release. However, there is no such confirmation from the makers or the superstar Thalapathy Vijay. Master has created a huge box-office record worldwide. Hence it will be difficult for the other movies releasing next in the upcoming months to match that level of success.

Actor Ajit Kumar and Shalini had reached their polling booth about 20 minutes before the start of polling to vote early in order to avoid the fan crowd. However, while he was at the pooling booth, the fan crowd went berserk. A man tried to get a selfie with Ajith without his permission, this irked the star as the fan was also unmasked and defying the social distancing norms. In a rare sight, Ajith lost his cool and took away the fan’s phone and gave it back after some time. The actor is known to be a private person but obliges his fans when requested to be clicked.
Ajith : Sorry Sorry
Fan : Ok Thala.
He clearly didn’t throw the phone down after getting it.#Valimai #AjithKumar pic.twitter.com/naPEL5dIM5— PS (@D10SPS) April 6, 2021
The video of this incident has gone viral on social media and became a topic of discussion. While one side supports Thala, fans of Vijay who are known to be at cross swords with Ajith’s fans were comparing his behavior with Thalapathy Vijay and criticizing him.
Just now watched that video!!
Without even wearing mask, coming near people is first of all very bad thing and we should know how to behave in some places! Its not a private meeting!🙄
That’s why #Thala #Ajith got angry.. snatched his phone… and later he gave it back..

Meanwhile, Superstar Vijay on Tuesday morning cycled to the polling booth to cast his vote in Chennai. Thalapathy Vijay was seen cycling to his polling booth with a large number of people following him on two-wheelers.

The cycling by Vijay to vote has kicked up speculation as to whether the actor is making a statement on high prices of petrol and diesel. However, Vijay’s spokesperson released a statement saying that since the booth was nearby he decided to cycle as taking a car would have made the road even more congested and there wasn’t any other intention.

Master's success has positively influenced the South Indian film industry as producers who earlier were eyeing OTT release to cover up for their losses are now thinking of dropping the plan. Thalapathy Vijay's Masterstroke has given these filmmakers the confidence that the audience is ready to go to theaters despite corona still lurking around.

Before the release of Vijay's Master around a month ago, many leading filmmakers were toying with the idea of releasing their movies on OTT as they were not sure of the audience response for a theatrical release.

Updates on release dates for other movies are expected soon.
The film, written and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Xavier Britto, released in theatres on January 13 during Pongal holiday.
"Master" follows John Durairaj, an alcoholic professor (Vijay) is sent to a juvenile school, where he clashes with a gangster named Bhavani (Sethupathi), who uses the children of the school for criminal activities.
Vijay said he is "glad" that the fans can enjoy the film on Amazon Prime Video in India and across the world.
"I am certain that the interesting duel between John and Bhavani will take the audiences on a roller-coaster ride of action, and drama," the actor said in a statement.
Sethupathi said it is "extremely fulfilling" to have the film's global digital release on Amazon.
"Master' film has brought two very strong actors face to face in the film, that serves as great entertainment hook for people to come and watch the film in theatres.
"However, with the film's global digital release on Amazon Prime Video, we are hoping to reach a wider audience that's been at home, and reach regions that otherwise wouldn't have been possible," he added.
Vijay Subramaniam, Director and Head, Content, Amazon Prime Video, India, said "Master" is one of the most anticipated Tamil movies of the year and the company is glad to have the opportunity to bring the movie to Prime members in India and across 240 countries and territories this month.
"With this digital premiere, we are happy to provide customers with the choice of enjoying the latest Tamil blockbuster movie from the safety and comfort of their homes, not just in India but across the globe," Subramaniam added.
"Master" also stars Malavika Mohanan, Andrea Jeremiah, Shanthanu Bhagyaraj, and Arjun Das.

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj dropped a 5-minute long-unseen clip from Mater where Vijay is seen standing up for his students against the college management. He is seen slapping two boys for misbehaving with one of his students and schooling the management when they blame the girl for it. This scene has become the talk of the town and Thalapthy is winning the hearts of the audience yet again.
If the deleted scene was included in the movie, & if the unnecessary scenes were removed from the movie, it would’ve been complete 🙌🏼❤️💯. #Master

The movie has already been applauded by the public and the critics alike calling it Thalapathy Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi’s one of the finest performances to date.
The movie showcases Vijay as an alcoholic professor who is sent to juvenile school where he clashes with Vijay Sethupathi, a gangster who uses children for criminal activities. The film also stars Malvika Mohan in the lead role.
According to reports, the makers are planning to rope in either Rashmika Mandanna or Pooja Hegde for the female lead.

The latest report says that Thalapathy's upcoming movie to be directed by Nelson Dhilipkumar will have two female leads. And there are chances that Nelson will try to rope in both the actresses for the movie. If that happens it will be the first time that Rashmika and Pooja will be sharing screen space.

Importantly with the two most famous Southern divas onboard, the success of the movie at the box-office is guaranteed. Currently, Nelson is busy wrapping up the post-production work of his upcoming movie Doctor. Only after that, he will finalize the leading ladies and the rest of the star cast for Thalapathy 65.
While Pooja debuted in Bollywood a couple of years ago, Rashmika is all set to make her debut in Hindi movies with Mission Majnu opposite Sidharth Malhotra. She also has a biggie with Amitabh Bachchan.

Incidentally, Pooja Hegde has already delivered a few good movies in Bollywood and will be next seen in Cirkus opposite Ranveer Singh. Since the movie is being directed by Rohit Shetty, it is sure to give a major boost to the career of the Mohenjo Daro actress. She also has Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali opposite Salman Khan in her kitty.
But Rashmika Mandanna with her charm and innocence is already the crush of India and hence is expected to win hearts with her Bollywood debut.

Interestingly, despite permission of only 50% theatrical capacity and lurking corona danger, it went to become one of the biggest hits commercially. That is why he now been offered a huge amount in advance by the producers of Allu Arjun's Pushpa.

According to the latest buzz, Mythri Movie Makers have offered Rs.10 crore in advance to Thalapathy Vijay for their next movie. Earlier it was speculated that the movie will be helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. However now the producers are looking for another director to work with the Master superstar for the upcoming bilingual movie.
Currently, the Tamil superstar is busy with his projects in hand and hence will start with the movie for Mythri Movie Makers after a couple of months. One of the big reasons why the producers are eager to pay such a huge amount to the Bigil actor is because he has managed to entice not only the Tamil audience but continues to have a hold over the Tollywood movie market.

While nothing is fixed about the release date as well as the female lead, rumors are adrift that the film will star two leading female stars. Names of Pooja Hegde, Kiara Advani, and Rashmika Mandanna have been in the reckoning but the producers are yet to confirm either of them.
However, the latest statement by a unit member of Thalapathy 65 has taken the excitement level of fans surrounding the film to the next level.
A member of stunt choreographer duo Anb-Ariv, who is working on Thalapathy 65, said that everybody will forget about the fight scenes of KGF 2 after the action sequences of Thalapathy 65 are out.
Vijay fans have been going gaga over this on social media platforms.
Thalapathy 65, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, is being produced by Sun Pictures. Anirudh is composing the music for the film.
According to reports, the movie is likely to take off in the month of June.
Meanwhile, the rumour mills are also abuzz that Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui will play the lead antagonist in the film. However, he is yet to give his nod to the film, but he had listened to the script and he is very much interested in the project.

Even with 50% occupancy, Vijay's Master has broken Prabhas' Baahubali 2: The Conclusion's three-year-long record in terms of theatrical share in Tamil Nadu in 19 days of its release.
Master has yielded more than 82 crore share and thus surpassed the previous record of Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, which had earned around 78 crores in the state.
'Master' is one of the first films to hit Indian theatres since the covid-19 lockdown restrictions were partially eased.
Despite numerous restrictions, the film performed exceptionally well and joined the 200-crore club by the ninth day of its release.
After Mersal, Sarkar and Bigil, this was Thalapathy Vijay's fourth film to perform well at the box-office, which talk volumes about his box office pull.
Meanwhile, Vijay's fans are going gaga over this news. Twitter is now flooded with fans praising their superstar with #Master, #ThalapathyVijay.

As per reports, producer Dil Raju is planning a big-budget South Indian film starring Vijay. The superstar will be starting the shoot of the project after wrapping Thalapathy 65 where he plays a con agent. There were talks of robbing a big shot director who can pull off the big-budget film.
Now according to the latest developments, Dil Raju is trying to robe in Prashanth Neel as the director of this mega-budget film. Vijay also has a keen interest in collaborating with the KGF Chapter 2 director as his films have been pathbreakers. The three also reportedly met to discuss the project and things have ended on a positive note so the film might be headed in the right direction.

Prashanth Neel will be developing a subject and they will eventually lock the films. As per reports, the KGF Chapter 2 director is leading in the race of who is going to direct the huge collaboration of Vijay and Dil Raju.
“Even Vijay has two confirmed films in the pipeline and will have dates only in the second half of 2021. If the script is ready by June 2022, this might be Thalapathy 67, and if not, then it will be Thalapathy 68, which goes on floors from the end of 2022 or early 2023. It might arrive in Hindi too. All the details about the collaboration have been kept under wraps for now. It has been just one meeting between the trio, and the things can change too in the future depending on the script, but yes, something is brewing,” said a source to Pinkvilla.
