Thalapathy 69: Is Vijay taking on Kamal Haasan’s shelved project?
Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming movie, tentatively titled Thalapathy 69, has drawn attention, particularly due to its similarities to a shelved project that was supposed to feature Kamal Haasan. Directed by H. Vinoth, Thalapathy 69 is an action film with political undertones. However, fans have speculated about the connection between this film and a previously announced movie that Vinoth was set to direct with Kamal Haasan.
The announcement poster for Thalapathy 69 features a man holding a fire-lit torch, with a caption reading, “The torchbearer of Democracy is arriving in October 2025.” This visual bears a striking resemblance to an earlier promotional video for the Kamal Haasan project, which also featured the legendary actor holding a fire-lit torch, surrounded by followers.
H. Vinoth was initially announced as the director for Kamal Haasan’s film, tentatively titled KH233. The project, however, was shelved, despite reports that Kamal Haasan had begun preparations for his role. The similarities between the announcements have led to speculation that Thalapathy 69 might be a revival of the shelved Kamal Haasan project, with Vijay taking on the lead role. However, no official confirmation has been provided regarding any connection between the two films, and it could just be a coincidence.
