The countdown has begun for the grand reveal of Thalapathy 68, the much-awaited collaboration of director Venkat Prabhu and  Vijay. The fans are eagerly waiting for the film's title and the first-look poster which will be unveiled very soon.

But before that, murmurs from the tinseltown have dropped a hint about the possible title of the film. According to the sources, the makers have chosen an English word as the title to cater to the Pan-Indian audience. And the word is none other than ‘Boss’.

Fans are going agog with this viral buzz and saying that it is a  fitting name for the charismatic and powerful Vijay, who has a huge fan base across the country. The sources also claim that the title will be stylized as ‘B.O.S.S’, with each letter having a special meaning related to the film’s plot.

However, this is not an official confirmation, and we have to wait for the makers to announce the title on December 31, as the team unveils the title and first look on the occasion of New year's Eve. The film boasts of an ensemble cast that includes PrabhuDeva, Prashanth, Sneha, Laila, Meenakshi Chowdry, Ajmal, Mic Mohan, Jayaram, Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh, Vaibhav, Premji, Aravind Akash and Ajay Raj.

The music will be composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, who has teamed up with Venkat Prabhu for the seventh time. The cinematography will be handled by Siddharth Nuni, while the editing will be done by Venkat Raajen. Dileep Subbarrayan will choreograph the stunts.
