Pooja Hegde is super excited to collaborate with Vijay for his last film. The movie, tentatively titled Thalapathy 69, will be Pooja and Vijay's second film together. They previously worked together in the 2022 hit movie Beast. On Friday (September 4), Pooja dropped a slew of pictures on Instagram featuring the cast and crew members of Thalapathy 69. They assembled under one roof for a grand mahurat puja before filming the project. The first picture captures Pooja and Vijay fist-bumping and flashing million-dollar smiles. Both were dressed in white ethnic ensembles. Bobby Deol also made an appearance in one of the clicks. He was seen having a friendly banter with Vijay. The last snap features the entire Thalapathy 69 team posing together.
Along with the post, Pooja Hegde wrote, “Halamithi and Habibo reunited. Back again with the cutest Vijay sir and ready to roll. Let's create magic onscreen once more…May the cinematic Gods keep shining upon us.” Actress Aparna Das reacted to the pictures by dropping multiple heart emojis.
On the day of the mahurat puja, film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared a set of photos from the ceremony on X (formerly Twitter). He revealed that the shoot of Thalapathy 69 will begin on October 5. “THALAPATHY VIJAY'S FINAL FILM STARTS OFF WITH GRAND MAHURAT POOJA. The much-anticipated film Thalapathy 69 - starring Thalapathy Vijay - commenced with a mahurat pooja, held on the second day of Navratri. Filming is set to begin tomorrow [5 Oct 2024],” read a part of his note.
