What made Thalapathy Vijay return to Kerala after 9 years?

As per a report by Keralakaumudi, the climax scene of GOAT was supposed to be shot in Sri Lanka. However, the location was shifted to Thiruvananthapuram in Kerala because Venkat Prabhu's cousin Bhavatharani succumbed to cancer while undergoing treatment in Sri Lanka. This is the reason why Thalapathy Vijay returned to Kerala after 14 years to shoot for GOAT.

Vijay will be in Thiruvananthapuram till March 23. Greenfield Stadium and International Airport are the prime locations for the GOAT shoot. Director Venkat Prabhu went to the capital two weeks ago to inspect the location himself.

Vijay had previously visited Kerala in 2011 to shoot for the film Velayudham. Back then, the shooting took place at Ernakulam Kaloor Stadium. Before that, Vijay went to Thiruvananthapuram to celebrate the success of Pokkiri in 2007 and Vettaikaran in 2009.
