On Vijay's family life
Vijay is the son of Shobha Chandrasekhar and director SA Chandrasekhar. While Vijay shares a warm equation with his mother, as can be seen by her visit to meet her son, so is not the case for the relationship between Thalapathy Vijay and his father. They have been estranged for a while due to differing political opinions.

Reports had been doing the rounds of director Atlee helming the film.

Vinoth among others are reportedly in talks with Super Good Films. Super Good Films will be producing Thalapathy Vijay's 68th cinematic venture.
