Popular actor Ajmal Ameer posted a photo of himself with 'Thalapathy' Vijay wishing the Tamil superstar on the release and the grand success of his latest film, Leo, on Thursday, October 19, thus sparking off a big buzz about his casting in the tentatively titled Thalapathy 68. Known best for his roles in Tamil films Anjathe (2008), TN 07 AL 4777 (2009), Iravukku Aayiram Kangal (2018), and Netrikann (2021), Ajmal conveyed his regards to Vijay, director Lokesh Kanagaraj, and music composer Anirudh Ravichander for making Leo a spectacular cinematic experience.
Sharing his big fanboy moment on Instagram, Ajmal wrote in the caption of his picture: "Congratulations Vijay Na for the tremendous victory of Leo ! You continue to win hearts like the star you are ! You , Loki and Anirudh have taken cinematic experience to another level. Wishing you guys all success for this massive entertainer. Warm wishes from me on behalf of all the Ilayathalapathy Fans ! 🔥💪#leo#thalapathy#vijayfanskerala #anirudh" (sic) Ajmal's latest photo with Vijay has added to the huge buzz surrounding Thalapathy 68, with the complete cast and crew details being awaited and expected to be announced in the days ahead.
A formal pooja ceremony for Thalapathy 68 was held on October 2 and production was also flagged off on the same day. The film is described as a "fun roller coaster ride" by blockbuster director Venkat Prabhu and will feature songs and a background score composed by celebrated music director Yuvan Shankar Raja making it his second outing with Vijay after Pudhiya Geethai (2003). Billed to be a "high-octane action film", Thalapathy 68 is scheduled for a grand theatrical release in 2024, with both Vijay and Venkat Prabhu traveling to Los Angeles, California, some time back to reportedly discuss with the team at the USC Institute of Creative Technologies about the implementation of a 3D VFX scan technology called Light Stage in the film.
