The live interaction between Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Hassan and Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi has rekindled the talks in Kollywood about possible roping in of Vijay Sethupathi in Kamal’s ``Thalaivan Irukkindraan’’ for a leading role.
The interaction had created a huge impact as the duo discussed several issues from politics to the cinema.
Now, new reports have emerged stating that Vijay Sethupathi will be roped in to play the lead role in Kamal Haasan’s Thalaivan Irukkindraan, which is supposed to be the sequel to Kamal Haasan’s superhit movie Devar Magan. Incidentally, live interaction was also titled Thalaivan Irukkindraan.
Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi is currently awaiting the release of his film Master directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Vijay Sethupathi will be seen as the main antagonist in the film.
Master has Thalapathy Vijay as the lead actor and it has Malavika Mohanan and Andrea Jeremiah as female leads. Master was supposed to hit the big screens in April but the release date has been postponed due to the lockdown. It is expected that the producers will release the film as soon as the pandemic situation is contained.
Thalapathy Vijay had reportedly refused a huge offer to a digital company to release Master in OTT Platform if the situation continues. It was told that Vijay had rejected the offer saying that he is acting for his fans, and “Master’’ would be released only in theatres.
On the other hand, Kamal Haasan’s Indian 2 shooting will be resumed as soon as the lockdown is lifted. The film, which is a sequel to the 1999 film Indian, is directed by Shankar. Indian 2 has Kajal Aggarwal, Rahul Preet Singh, and Siddharth in key roles. Produced by Lyca Productions, the film made the headlines recently after three crew members lost their lives on the sets due to an accident when the film was being shot in EVR Film city on the outskirts of Chennai.
