Thalapathy Vijay's 'Bigil' directed by Atlee and costarring Nayanthara is getting ready for release this Deepavali with huge expectations surrounding it. A.R. Rahman's songs are said to be of the chart-busting variety and the audio launch is expected to be held on August 15th.

Fans focus has already shifted to Vijay's next movie 'Thalapathy 64' which will be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj of 'Maanagaram' fame. News is doing the rounds that Raashi Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna have signed on to play the lead heroines and Action King Arjun has boarded as the chief antagonist.

When we got in touch with sources close to the 'Thalapathy 64' team we got the info that Lokesh Kanagaraj is busy with the final works for his 'Kaithi' starring Karthi and will move on to the Vijay film only after its release. So whatever news regarding the project is mere speculation and a clear picture regarding the casting will emerge only in a few weeks time.
