It has been confirmed that Vijay's 66th film is being produced by telugu producer Dilraj and directed by telugu director Vamsi.
The salary that Vijay is going to buy for this film has left the fans speechless. It is said that the production team has talked to him about Rs 118 crore.
Work on the film, dubbed ‘Thalapathy-66’, has not yet officially begun. Within that many OTT, sites are competing for the electronic distribution rights of the film. In this case, the leading OTT company is in talks with Dilraj to pay a large sum of money for various licenses related to the film.
The company has said it is ready to provide a total of Rs 200 crore as of now. Hearing this has become a mountain for the production side. They would not have expected such a large sum.
However, those who know the details say that the company has calculated that if the film, which will be released in tamil and telugu, is translated into other languages and released on OTT sites, the investment can be recouped.
Vijay has been promised a salary of Rs 118 crore for the film. For other actors, actresses, technicians, the cost of filming can all be offset by Rs 200 crore. After that, the theater license, which accumulates as a foreign license, will benefit the multi-crore production side.
However, consultations with OTT are still ongoing," said senior newshound RS Andanan. "A formal declaration is expected by the end of march this fiscal year." In addition, unlike recent Vijay films, director Vamsi noted that the film is focused on a happy family storey.
It is reported that Vijay wants soft love in the story, almost like in 'Poove Unakaga' and 'Kadhaluku Mariyathai'. Following this, director Vamsi told the story to Vijay in detail. Vijay was astonished to hear that.
“I have never heard a story like this in the last twenty years. "It is very elegant and wonderful without any flaws," Vijay said not only to the director but also to his circle of friends. The producer wants to release 'Thalapathy-66' for this year's Deepavali festival.
But director Shankar's new film is also gearing up for Diwali. Vijay has said that if Shankar's film is released, his film may be released on pongal Thirunal next year.
It is reported that the product side has also accepted this. Meanwhile, Daman, who is a leading composer in telugu, is said to be composing for the film 'Thalapathy 66'. rashmika is likely to play the heroine.
