Thalapathy Vijay's 'Mersal' is relentless at the box office as the most preferred family film into its fourth week.  The pre-production work for his next 'Vijay 62' directed by A.R. Murugadoss is underway aiming for a January 2018 shoot.

As of now Girish Gangadharan of 'Angamaly Diaries' fame has been roped in as cinematographers while it is reported that a brand new set of young assistant directors are involved.  There is a huge buzz that front line heroines like Nayanthara and Rakul Preet are in talks.  But the latest word that is going around is that Kiara Advani is in consideration for the coveted leading lady of 'Vijay 62'.  The young actress is famous for portraying Sakshi Singh Dhoni in the Team India captain's biopic 'M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story'.  Lets wait and see if the talks materialize and a very fresh face becomes Thalapathy's gal in the new flick.
