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 complete cast and crew of the untitled movie is yet to be finalized, it has been revealed by sources that 'Kabir Singh' heroine Kiara Advani will most likely play the female lead in the movie. It was earlier announced that 'Angamaly Diaries' fame Antony Varghese has been roped in to play a pivotal role in the film as well. If the news is true, Thalapathy 64 will mark Kiara's maiden venture in Tamil.

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.
