Is This Bollywood Actress Really A Part Of ‘Vijay 62’?

A while back, there were reports doing the rounds stating Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha was being eyed to play the female lead in Vijay 62. It was said the project would roll out on Deepavali day considering it would be bankrolled by Lyca Productions and that their other biggie for this year, ‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth’s 2.0 would hit screens on the auspicious day. However, all such reports have now been rubbished as fake now.

Sources privy to the developments on the project have dismissed the rumour that the project will not go on floors on Deepavali, as Vijay has just completed shooting the first schedule of Thalapathy 61 being directed by Atlee. It was also speculated that Vijay 62 would feature a musical score by Harris Jayaraj will compose the music. However, a source close to the ‘Ilayathalapathy’ has brushed aside the reports saying, “We don’t know where such rumors stem from. Though the project has been confirmed, the official launch date and the rest of the cast and crew are yet to be decided. Any official confirmation regarding the film will be announced by the makers,”.

Vijay, whose current film is Thalapathy 61 is currently on a break. “Vijay 61 team has wrapped up the first schedule and is on a break now,” the source added. It was earlier reported that the team would take off to the UK for the second schedule. “We are waiting for further schedules to be confirmed. Once that is done, the shoot will resume,” the source said.

Produced by Sri Thenandal Films, Vijay 61 has three female leads – Samantha, Nithya Menen and Kajal Aggarwal, apart from director-actor SJ Suryah, veteran actor Sathyaraj in important roles. Comedian Vadivelu returns to mainstream films with this project and A. R. Rahman composes the music.
