Director Atlee’s upcoming film with 'Ilayathalapathy' Vijay, tentaively titled Vijay 61, is progressing at a rapid pace. 

After completing the first schedule, the crew has moved to Rajasthan for the second schedule, where some important scenes were canned.

Reliable sources reveal that the entire cast and crew that was present for the Rajasthan schedule landed in Chennai, early on Tuesday morning.

With no time to be wasted, the crew has commenced the third schedule in Chennai. This schedule will last for a month and some important scenes will be filmed during this schedule.

This film marks the collaboration of Vijay and director Atlee after the 2016 blockbuster Theri, and will have Vijay playing three roles with Samantha, Kajal Aggarwal and Nithya Menen as his heroines.

The yet-untitled film also has a promising list of actors including SJ Suryah, Vadivelu, Sathyan and Sathyaraj. 

Produced by Sri Thenandal Films, Vijay 61 has music scored by AR Rahman and story penned by KV Vijayendra Prasad, who is known for his blockbusters like Baahubali, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Magadheera. 

Interestingly, this will be Vijayendra's maiden Tamil film in his nearly two-decade long career.
