Vijay’s Thalapathy 67 is officially announced, big updates set to drop this week

Thalapathy 67 has created quite a buzz as director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s previous film Vikram emerged as one of the biggest blockbusters of 2022. The film is touted to be an extension of Lokesh’s cinematic universe. Even though the makers haven’t confirmed it yet, it’s an open secret that the movie will have a story thread that will link the lead characters from Kaithi and Vikram.

Thalapathy 67 is Lokesh’s second collaboration with Vijay after Master. Despite releasing during the Covid-19 lockdown in 2021, Master became a big hit at the box office.
