Actor Rashmika Mandanna has joined the cast opposite Vijay in ‘Thalapathy 66’. The makers announced the big news earlier this week, with the shoot kicking off on Tuesday last, to mark the Rashmika’s 26th birthday, and while fans couldn’t hold their excitement about the pairing, an old tweet of the actress has gone viral.
The tweet, dated, November 27, 2018, reads, “A lot of you have been asking me if I am part of Vijay sir’s and Atlee sir’s film but since that’s not happening this time, I hope I get to work with them soon. I am so overwhelmed (like literally) to see such support from all of you. I will definitely make a debut there soon. I love you all very much.”
Tentatively titled ‘Thalapathy 66’, the movie went on floors in Chennai with a prayer ceremony. It is Tamil superstar Vijay’s 66th film that’ll be simultaneously shot in Telugu as well.
The Vamshi Paidipally directorial also stars actor-politician R Sarath Kumar. It is produced by Dil Raju. The movie marks Vijay’s first collaboration with Rashmika and music composer Thaman. Sharing her happiness, Rashmika tweeted, “There we have it. can’t believe this is happening but soooo kicked about this.”
In the meantime, Rashmika also has ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ and an untitled Telugu project with Dulquer Salmaan in her kitty.
