It looks like Simran might be playing the leading lady in ‘Thalapathy 68’ after all.
Speculations are rife that the team has approached Simran to team up with Vijay.
Simran and Vijay have worked in a number of films together, including ‘Nerukku Ner’, ‘Once More’, ‘Thulladha Manamum Thullum’, ‘Priyamanavale’, ‘Youth’, and ‘Udhaya’.
While Simran played Suriya’s leading lady in ‘Nerukku Ner’, she appeared in the hit dance number Aalthotta Boopathy in ‘Youth’.
The duo played the lead pair in the remaining films, which turned out to be hits at the box office.
If the actress indeed gets on board, this would mark her reunion with Vijay after two decades. The last time they were seen on screen together was in ‘Udhaya’ (2004), which was helmed by Azhagam Perumal.
It is to be noted that earlier Jyotika was approached to play the same role. An official confirmation is awaited yet.
Vijay is said to be playing dual roles in the film (father and son) and Simran and Jyotika’s names were tossed around for the father’s character.
Priyanka Mohan’s name is being considered to play the love interest of the son’s character. An official confirmation is awaited on all the names.
Meanwhile the team of ‘Thalapathy 68’ is in a leading Hollywood Studio in Los Angeles, where they are said to be exploring 3D VFX scan technology.
