Vijay's meeting with Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin took place after the actor had earlier in the day attended the launch ceremony of his next film, the tentatively titled Thalapathy 66. Blockbuster Telugu producer Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations banner kicked off the proceedings for the upcoming film, which is billed to be a family-centric story along the lines of Vijay's Poove Unakkaga and Thulladha Manamum Thullum, and will be directed by Vamshi Paidipally of Thozha and Maharshi fame.
Apart from Vijay being the biggest USP of Thalapathy 66, the film will see leading actress and the National Crush of India Rashmika Mandanna playing the female lead. The youth sensation has often expressed her wish to work with the superstar and had made her Tamil cinema debut in Karthi's Sulthan earlier this year. Outside of his Thalapathy 66, Vijay currently awaits the release of his Beast, which will open in theatres on April 13. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar under the prestigious Sun Pictures banner, Beast is an action thriller and has Vijay paired opposite Pooja Hegde, with ace filmmaker Selvaraghavan cast in a pivotal role, while 'Rockstar' Anirudh Ravichander has composed the film's music.
