And yet recent rumours of the actor permanently quitting the industry to pursue politics has left fans disturbed. This disappointing news is however, cut short by his last projects in the works, Leo and Thalapathy68. By Mahalekshmi
FollowOne of the most popular stars of South Indian cinema, Thalapathy Vijay did five films as a young actor and made his debut in a leading role at the age of 18 in Vikraman’s Poove Unakkaga, a box office success. Going from one role to another, the actor established himself in the industry as a romantic star, action star, comedy star, and the number one choice as a leading man. With Nanban, Thupakki, Their, Mersal and many more films, the actor has left a huge mark on the industry itself.
With such a shining career and building a network of loyal fans, recent reports of him quitting acting and joining a political journey can only be unprecedented disappointment. Several reports suggest that his film Leo directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and Thalapathy68 are going to be his last in the industry. Here’s what to expect from these upcoming projects.
Leo and Lokesh Cinematic Universe
The Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial Leo has much anticipation and buzz around it, starting from the conception of the idea as this could be an addition to the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. After their previous outing together in Master, audiences are eager to catch the Lokesh-Vijay combo in cinemas. There may also be appearances from his other films in the Universe, Kaithi and Vikram. The characters Dilli and maybe Rolex are expected to get a shot in the film. If these are to happen, fans are in for a treat and this is going to be a blockbuster like his previous additions to the universe- Kaithi starring Karthi Sivakumar and Vikram starring Kamal Haasan.

Thalapathy68- a thriller
To remark about this film at this moment is a bit too early as it was only announced a month ago. The actor will be partnering up with Venkat Prabhu of Custody fame. There are also reports that actress Jyothika will be a part of the film and if it is true, this will be their reunion onscreen after 20 years.
