The biggie revolved around the clash between a rowdy professor and god-fearing villain. It starred Vijay Sethupathi as the antagonist and marked his first collaboration with the Mersal hero. The cast included Andrea Jeremiah and Petta star Malavika Mohanan.

Vijay, meanwhile, is set to collaborate with director Nelson for a film being referred to as Thalapathy 65. The movie has a hatke storyline and is likely to feature the star in a new avatar. The film was originally supposed to be helmed by AR Murugadoss but that did not happen.

Vijay may also team up with noted filmmaker H Vinoth after he wraps up work on Ajith Kumar's Valimai. If this happens, it will mark the director's second collaboration with an 'A-lister'. He had previously wielded the microphone for Thala's Nerkonda Paarvai, an adaptation of the Bollywood film Pink. One is likely to get clarity of the Vinoth-Vijay movie in the coming weeks.
