Top league heroine Samantha who has paired up with Ilayathalapathy VIjay in two blockbusters 'Kaththi' and 'Theri' might be teaming up with Vijay for the third time in 'Thalapathy 61' to be directed by Atlee and produced by Sri Thenandal Films banner. .

In a life Facebook chat with fans, a Vijay fan posed her a question about doing another film with Vijay and the Chennai born lass's answer is "You never know...might be soon". This makes us guess that Samantha is indeed in talks with the makers of 'Thalapathy 61' to play the female lead.

It must be recalled that Kajal has also given a open ended answer for a question regarding her presence in 'Thalapathy 61' in her recent interview. She has said we will have to wait for the official announcement from the producers.
