In what can termed as a completely surprising announcement, Lyca Productions shared the news of 'Thalapathy' Vijay's son Jason Sanjay making his directorial debut under their banner on Monday, August 28. The big news was revealed along with photos of Jason signing on to the project in the presence of producer Subaskaran Allirajah, the head of the blockbuster production-distribution banner GKM Tamil Kumaran among others. The project tentatively titled Jason Sanjay's Directorial Debut is officially a go now , with Lyca Productions expressing their joy at collaborating with Tamil superstar Vijay's son on their social media pages writing, "We are beyond excited 🤩 & proud 😌 to introduce #JasonSanjay in his Directorial Debut 🎬 We wish him a career filled with success & contentment 🤗 carrying forward the legacy! 🌟" (sic)
The announcement of Jason Sanjay's directorial debut has no doubt come as a massive surprise and wishes are already pouring in for the budding filmmaker, who has made a few short films during the course of his education abroad. It is to be noted that he directed a short titled Pull The Trigger earlier this year, which received quite a lot of buzz on social media. With Jason Sanjay's directorial debut now announced and Lyca Productions doing the honors for his grand start in Tamil cinema, there will be a lot of expectations surrounding the project and we can expect Vijay's fans to show him support in his new journey as a filmmaker on the global stage.
Fans will know that Lyca Productions made a stellar debut in Tamil cinema by bankrolling 'Thalapathy' Vijay's Kaththi (2014) directed by AR Murugadoss, which went on to become one of the biggest box office blockbusters and put the hit production banner on the map. They will once again be looking to witness a similar outcome and this time with Vijay's son Jason Sanjay at the helm of the project, with the rest of the cast and crew announcements expected to be made known in the days ahead.
