Ilayathalapathy Vijay's 61st film referred to as 'Thalapathy 61' will start rolling from the first week of February. So far the makers have confirmed that GK Vishnu will handle the cinematography and Anthony Ruben will handle the Editing. Kajal Aggarwal will play the female lead in this flick to be directed by Atlee and produced by Sri Thenandal Films banner.

Though G.V.Prakash Kumar has rendered music score for Atlee's previous two films 'Raja Rani' and Theri', it is being rumored for quite sometime that Isaipuyal A.R.Rahman will be scoring music for 'Thalapathy 61'.

While the official confirmation is yet to arrive in this regard, reliable sources hint that the double Oscar winning composer has given his nod to be on board for this mega project amid his busy schedule. In that case this will be Vijay's third film with Rahman after 'Udhaya' and 'Azhagiya Tamizh Magan' while it will be the first time experience working with the Internationally renowned composer for Atlee.

An official word is awaited very soon.
