In a significant development for Tamil cinema, actor Vijay's 69th film, tentatively titled Thalapathy 69, has been officially announced. This film marks a bittersweet moment for Vijay's fans as it will be his last outing before he dedicates himself full-time to his political career.

Directed by H. Vinoth, known for his work on films like Sathuranga Vettai , Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru , and Valimai , Thalapathy 69 is set to be a political thriller. The film is produced by Venkat K. Narayana of KVN Productions, along with Jagadish Palanisamy and Lohith N K.

Pooja Hegde, who previously worked with Vijay in the 2022 film Beast , will once again share screen space with the superstar in Thalapathy 69. The production house, KVN Productions, announced her inclusion on October 2, welcoming her back to the project with a post on X (formerly Twitter).

Bollywood actor Bobby Deol, known for his versatile performances, has also been confirmed to play the main antagonist in the film. This will be his second Tamil film, following his role in Suriya's upcoming movie Kanguva .

The cast of Thalapathy 69 has been expanding with the recent additions of Gautham Menon and Priyamani. Gautham Menon will share the screen with Vijay for the second time after their collaboration in Leo . The inclusion of these powerhouse talents is expected to enhance the film's appeal.

The film's music will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, marking his fifth collaboration with Vijay. The muhurat puja for the film is scheduled to take place on October 4 in Chennai, followed by the commencement of shooting on October 5.

Vijay's decision to leave the film industry to pursue a career in politics was announced earlier this year with the formation of his political party, Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam. He plans to enter the electoral fray in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
