While Thalapathy Vijay's 'Leo' is preparing for a Pan-Indian release on October 19th, we all know that the works for his 68th film have already begun. 'Thalapathy 68' directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment commenced pre-production last month as the makers flew to the USA for a 3D scan of the actor owing to his dual roles.

Now, we hear that the muhurat puja of Thalapathy 68 is set to happen on 1st October. Reportedly, the shooting will commence a day after the puja (2nd October). It is worth mentioning that Thalapathy Vijay will be present at the Leo audio launch event scheduled to happen in Chennai on September 30th. He will immediately move to his next project from the very next day itself. This news is now spreading like a wildfire.

Yuvan Shankar Raja will be scoring music for Thalapathy 68. Meanwhile, sources tell us that Siddhartha Nuni is the cinematographer and Anbariv masters are roped in as action directors. On the casting front, it is said that the team is considering Arvind Swamy for the villain role while Prabhu Deva, Madhavan and Jai are said to be seen in pivotal roles. We hear that Priyanka Mohan will be paired with young Vijay while Simran or Sneha is likely to be the romantic interest of older Vijay.
