Starring Vijay as the hero, the untitled film has Kajal Agarwal and Samantha as his leading ladies. And the story has been penned by SS Rajamouli’s father and acclaimed writer KV Vijayendra Prasad.
Bankrolled by Sri Thenandal Films, music for this venture is being composed by AR Rahman. It is worth mentioning here that Vijay 61 will be Sri Thenandal’s 100th production venture.
