Ilayathalapathy Vijay's 61st film directed by Atlee is progressing in Chennai. The team has completed the first schedule of shoot in ECR and the second schedule is currently happening in Binny Mills. The 1980s period portions in which Vijay plays a village head are continued in the ongoing second schedule also.

Director Atlee and Vijay teamed up for the first time to deliver the blockbuster 'Theri'. The film released on April 14, 2016 as a Tamil New Year treat. Now we learn from a reliable source that the makers of 'Thalapathy 61' are planning to celebrate the first anniversary of 'Theri' by revealing the title of the film or by releasing the First look poster which would also reveal the title.

We hope this plan materializes and Vijay fans and movie buffs get to celebrate the Tamil New Year Day with the title or first look poster of 'Thalapathy 61'.

'Thalapathy 61' is being produced by Sri Thenandal Films banner as their grand 100th production venture.
