Actor Vijay is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, The Greatest of All Time. Ahead of its theatrical release, fans are anticipating the next release, Thalapathy 69. However, recently acclaimed director Nelson confirmed that he will not be involved with the project.
Moreover, Vijay confirmed that Thalapathy 69 will be his final film before he fully transitions into politics. He recently entered the field with his newly formed party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. Speaking about his entry into politics and his last film, he stated, “So politics is not a hobby for me; That is my deepest desire. I want to involve myself in it fully. On my behalf, I will complete another film-related commitment that I have already agreed to, without interfering with party work, and fully engage in politics for the service of the people. I consider that my debt of gratitude to the people of Tamil Nadu.”
