Thalaivaa to release in June on Vijay’s birthday

The post-production work in connection with Vijay’s upcoming film Thalaivaa has been going on at full-throttle. Sources close to A.L. Vijay, who has directed Vijay in Thalaivaa, say that the film is likely to hit the screens on 22nd June on the eve of the star’s birthday.

Thalaivaa has many firsts to its credit: it’s the first film under the Vijay-Vijay combo, it’s the first film for rising heroine Amala Paul opposite Vijay and it’s also the first time that the soon-to-wed G.V. Prakash Kumar would be scoring music for a Vijay-starrer. The film’s shoot was recently wrapped up after its last schedule in Australia.

Fans are awaiting the release of Thalaivaa with renewed interest as they expect a ‘strong’ political message from Vijay. The title and the still photographs of the film have created some understanding among fans that this could be the film where Vijay would give them ‘clear direction’ vis-à-vis his political ambitions and future plans.

The audio-launch of the film would be held in the second week of May to be followed by the film’s theatrical release on 22nd May on the eve of Vijay’s birthday. If it happens, Vijay’s fans would have twin reasons to celebrate.
