Vijay, a stalwart in Tamil cinema, is eagerly anticipating his upcoming film, The Greatest of All Time, written and directed by Venkat Prabhu. The music for the film has been composed by none other than Yuvan Shankar Raja, who expressed his excitement during a recent press conference. Yuvan remarked on how the film has become a trending topic on social media and acknowledged the high expectations from both fans and himself. He concluded by affirming that the shooting of the film is progressing splendidly.
However, the shooting of The Greatest of All Time faced a temporary halt following the tragic demise of Yuvan’s sister and renowned playback singer, Bhavatharini, on January 25. An old video of Yuvan praising his sister surfaced online, where he fondly recalls how she introduced him to playing the piano for the first time.
Bhavatharini, who was battling liver cancer, passed away at the age of 47, leaving behind a legacy of herself. Despite the setback, the shooting for the film has now resumed. The star-studded cast includes Jayaram, Prabhu Deva, Yogi Babu and others. Produced by AGS Entertainment, the film is scheduled for release in late 2024. Reports suggest that Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for a significant sum, with the makers ensuring a strategic release date to avoid clashes with other projects.
The Greatest of All Time marks the first collaboration between Vijay and director Venkat Prabhu. Speculations abound that Vijay will be portraying both a father and son in the film. Last year, Vijay and Prabhu traveled to Los Angeles, California, to explore and experiment with de-aging technology. It is reported that the film, initially titled Thalapathy 68, commenced filming in October 2023.
With anticipation building and notable advancements in production, The Greatest of All Time promises to be a significant milestone in both Vijay’s and Venkat Prabhu’s careers.
