Vijay's Bigil in Atlee's direction had released for last Diwali, October 25, 2019. Nayanthara had played the leading lady in this AGS Production. The film which received a thunderous response at the box office has been re-released in Puducherry.
Shanmugha Theatre has been screening Bigil since October 23. Three shows have been planned for a day with even parking fee slashed. Vijay played dual roles of a father and a son in this drama which had football as a backdrop.
Vijay joined hands with Atlee for the third time since Theri and Mersal. Likewise, after 10 years, post Villu, Nayanthara was joining hands with Thalapathy. Bigil was a heady motley of punch dialogues, action, drama and comedy.
On the professional front, Vijay’s Master was ready but the current pandemic situation played truant. Malavika Mohanan, Vijay Sethupathi, Arjun Das, Shanthnu Bhagyaraj and others are also a part of this Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial. Anirudh scores music.
Earlier, there were a few rumours citing that Vijay’s dad SA Chandrasekhar will join the Bharatiya Janata Party. However, he has declined the same. In the same breath, he also added that he already has an outfit – Vijay Makkal Iyakkam – which he is looking to strengthen and when need be, it may become a political outfit.
