Vamshi Paidipally To Direct Tamil Superstar

Vamshi Paidipally’s long wait is worth the wait. The director, who has been waiting since Maharshi release in 2019, has bagged a golden opportunity to direct Thalapathy Vijay. It is learnt that the film marks Thalapathy’s Tollywood debut with a straight Telugu film. The film will also be shot simultaneously in Tamil and it will have a simultaneous release. Ace producer-distributor Dil Raju is bankrolling the film under his home banner Sri Venkateswara Creations.

Vijay’s last outing Master did well in both the Telugu states. The film has earned over 14 Crore theatrical share in Telugu states in its full run. This indeed turned out to be a profitable venture for the film’s makers. With this success, Dil Raju has decided to do a straight Telugu film with Vijay and Vijay has given his nod. A formal announcement of Thalapathy 66 is expected soon.

Vijay has Thalapathy 65. To be directed by Nelson, the film has Pooja Hegde as female lead and Anirudh as music director. The film was launched in March end, however, its shoot was deferred due to the second wave of Covid-19. Post this film, Vijay would be making his T-town debut.
