Thalapathy 62 might release for Diwali 2018
 

After two successful films, AR Murugadoss and Vijay are joining hands for Thalapathy 62. Once ARM is done with Spyder promotion campaign, he would focus more on this Vijay project.

Post a 3-month pre-production work, the shoot for this project is likely to start in January 2018. Except for Puli and Thalaivaa, all other Vijay films have released for a festival since Kavalan(2011). In fact, if you remove Theri from the equation which released for Tamil New Year, other Vijay films in the recent times have all released for either Pongal or Diwali.


Kavalan - Pongal
Velayudhum - Diwali
Nanban - Pongal
Thuppakki - Diwali
Jilla - Pongal
Kaththi - Diwali
Bairavaa - Pongal
Mersal - Diwali * (Yet to release)


Incidentally, both ARM-Vijay films have released for Diwali. Now that Thalapathy 62 is going on floors in January, the team could possibly release the film for Diwali 2018 which falls in November. Could this combo make it three in a row?

Photographer G Venket Ram talks about Mersal first look photoshoot with Vijay

The first look of Mersal was one of the best posters in the recent Vijay films. The poster was shot by G.Venket Ram and designed by Gopi Prassannaa.
 

Behindwoods got in touch with the photographer Venket Ram to know about the Mersal photoshoot experiences. He opened up about it by saying, "Atlee called me and told that we have to shoot the first look for Mersal. Since it is a Vijay sir movie, we had to do a lot of homework, because every time, it has to look different.

The first impression you get about a movie is through its first look, and only when that is impressive, that impact will lead them to the movie's release. It has to give you an idea of, how the film is going to be like. We discussed with the director, cinematographer, costume designer, poster designer, and only after fixing everything, we went for the shoot.


We shot almost 2000 clicks for Mersal first look. Then, we came down to the final two or three pictures, after selecting the right poses, at right angles, with right proportions.  With Vijay, it is always such a pleasure to work with him. He doesn't talk much, but when he is happy and knows the shot has come out well, there is a light smile on his face.


Though the shoot was only at 10 in the morning, Vijay would come at 8.30, put up the costumes, and be all set, much before time. He was tensed, Atlee was also tensed, everyone in the team was. It is the first picture that you're going to release from the film, and it has to be top notch. So, everyone had that tension and excitement. We shot the bull separately, and Vijay sir's pose separately, and merged it together. It feels glad that the poster has come out so well and being celebrated by fans."
