The news is official: Keerthy Suresh, who rose to fame with films like Idhu Enna Maayam and Rajini Murugan, will be the leading lady of Vijay 60 directed by Bharathan of Azhagiya Tamizh Magan fame. For any upcoming actress, doing a film with Vijay would be a big dream, and yes — it looks like she’s super excited about this.
Putting all speculation to rest, the actress herself announced it on Twitter. Her tweet reads, “Signed Vijay 60. Feeling extremely happy to pair with Ilayathalapathy Vijay sir. Thanks for your support! Can’t wait to start (sic).” Apparently, the filmmakers initially planned on roping in two heroines, but they’ve finally settled for one! Meanwhile, we hear that the shooting will begin from April, and the second schedule is likely to begin in May and continue till August.
When DC contacted filmmaker Bharathan, he told us that they are planning to extensively shoot in Hyderabad, Chennai and Rajahmundri. “This will be an out-and-out family, commercial entertainer, very much like the other films of the actor, with equal doses of sentiment, romance, comedy, and action. And we are planning to release the movie by this year end,” he added. Santhosh Narayanan is composing the music, which includes five songs. Vijaya Productions will produce the film and Sukumar will be cranking the camera.
