Tamil actor Vijay has officially announced his upcoming film, tentatively titled Thalapathy69, directed by H. Vinoth. This film marks Vijay’s final cinematic venture before he transitions into a full-time political career. While fans were initially excited about the project, recent rumors have dampened their enthusiasm, suggesting that Thalapathy69 may be a remake or adaptation of the Telugu film Bhagavanth Kesari, starring Balakrishna.
The full cast of the film was recently revealed, with actresses Mamitha Baiju and Pooja Hegde confirmed for key roles. However, this announcement has raised questions among fans, as many speculate that Mamitha Baiju might portray Sree Leela’s character, while Pooja Hegde could be reprising Kajal Aggarwal’s role from the original film. There are also reports that the team has already acquired the remake rights.
This news has disappointed Vijay’s fans, who were hoping for a vibrant, commercial masala film rather than a remake at this stage in his career. Additionally, Vijay, who had previously built a reputation for steering clear of remakes, has not taken on such projects for a long time. The prospect of him remaking a recent Telugu film that is already available on OTT platforms has left his supporters feeling let down. Fans are now left to wait and see whether these rumors about Thalapathy69 hold any truth.
