Vijay, who is currently busy with the shoot of Bigil, directed by Atlee, has finalized his role in the upcoming project, Thalapathy 64, to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

While the crew of the film was recently announced by its makers, there have been a lot of speculations surrounding the storyline of the movie and Vijay's character in it. Director Lokesh, in a recent interview to a renowned magazine, opened up for the first time on Thalapathy 64. Although he refused to reveal details, claiming it was premature, he did say that the audience will witness Vijay in a never-seen-before avatar.

Produced by Xavier Britto, the crew from the producer's upcoming film 'Kaithi,' starring Karthi, has pretty much been retained for Thalapathy 64. The music of the film will be composed by Anirudh.
