Director Venkat Prabhu unveiled the first look of Thalapathy Vijay's upcoming sci-fi action film, "The Greatest of All Time" (GOAT), on Vijay's 50th birthday. This film features Vijay in dual roles: a middle-aged nerdy man and a young, cool guy, sparking speculation that they may be the same character from different time periods.

The film recently wrapped up its Kerala schedule and will next be filmed in Dubai, where Vijay has already headed to shoot an action sequence. The Dubai schedule is expected to continue after which the team will return to India. Previous filming locations include Hyderabad, Chennai, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Pondicherry.

Despite excitement for GOAT, fans are saddened by the possibility that this might be one of Vijay's final films.

Reports suggest he will appear in one more film after GOAT before retiring.
