Thalapathy Vijay, the superstar of Tamil cinema, is all set to thrill his fans with his upcoming film Thalapathy 68, directed by Venkat Prabhu. The film, which is expected to release in the first half of 2024, has been generating a lot of buzz among the audience and the media. One of the most speculated aspects of the film is the female lead opposite Vijay. While many names have been doing the rounds, the latest reports suggest that Priyanka Mohan, the rising star of South Indian cinema, has been roped in for the role.

Priyanka Mohan, who made her debut with the Telugu film Gang Leader, has been impressing the viewers with her performances in films like Doctor, Etharkkum Thunindhavan, and I Am Chandu.

Now, she is reportedly going to share screen space with Vijay in Thalapathy 68, which will mark her first collaboration with the actor.

According to sources, Priyanka Mohan has been finalized as one of the two female leads in the film, which requires Vijay to play dual roles. The other heroine is said to be Jyothika, who has previously worked with Vijay in films like Kushi and Thirumalai. Jyothika is also a popular actress in Tamil cinema, known for her roles in films like Chandramukhi, Mozhi, 36 Vayadhinile, and Ponmagal Vandhal. The official announcement regarding the cast and crew of Thalapathy 68 is expected to be made soon by the makers.

Thalapathy 68 is produced by AGS Entertainment and has music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has teamed up with Venkat Prabhu for most of his films. The cinematography of the film is handled by Siddhartha Nuni, who has worked on films like Vendhu Thanindhathu Kaadu and Captain Miller. The film is said to be an action thriller with a unique plot and style.

Thalapathy Vijay is currently enjoying a vacation abroad after completing his work for Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Leo is one of the most awaited films of the year, starring Vijay, Trisha, and Sanjay Dutt in the lead roles. The film also features Gautham Menon, Anurag Kashyap, Mysskin, Priya Anand, and others in pivotal roles.

The audio launch event of Leo is anticipated to be held soon. Thalapathy 68 is expected to go on floors in October this year and hit the screens on Jan 10, 2024. The film will be a treat for Vijay’s fans as they will get to see him in different avatars and romancing two top heroines.
