Vijay, Venkat Prabhu film titled ‘The Greatest Of All Time’; first look out
The Hindu
Vijay will portray a dual role in his 68th film slated for release in 2024
Actor Vijay’s upcoming film with Venkat Prabhu has been titled The Greatest Of All Time.
A first-look poster for the much-awaited venture was released ahead of New Year’s Day.
As revealed by the poster, Vijay will portray the dual role of pilots in The Greatest Of All Time. “Light can devour the darkness but darkness cannot consume the light,” the poster reads.
The film, formerly referred to as Thalapathy 68, will be produced by Kalpathi S Aghoram’s AGS Entertainment. The music score is supplied by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
Venkat, who helmed Ajith Kumar’s Mankatha besides films like Chennai 600028 and Maanaadu, joins the coveted list of a handful of directors who have made films for both Vijay and his rival Ajith Kumar — AR Murugadoss, Vasanth Sai, SJ Suryah, KS Ravikumar, Vikraman, Ezhil, AL Vijay, and Perarasu.
Janaki Soundar’s 1995 film Rajavin Parvaiyile starred both superstars.
The film will also mark the reunion of Vijay and Yuvan after 2003’s Pudhiya Geethai, which remains their only collaboration to date.
National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists. Journalism’s evolution has been depicted throughout the last 100-odd years thanks to pop culture, and the life and work of journalists have made for a wealth of memorable cinema.
