Atlee to produce Vijay Sethupathi’s next with Balaji Tharaneetharan?
Vijay Sethupathi is reportedly reuniting with Balaji Tharaneetharan for a new film backed by Atlee’s A for Apple banner, with Lijomol Jose playing the lead.
In what could be an exciting collaboration, reports suggest that acclaimed filmmaker Atlee is set to bankroll Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming film directed by Balaji Tharaneetharan under his A for Apple banner. The project is reportedly already in production, running parallel to Vijay Sethupathi’s ongoing film with director Puri Jagannath.
Actress Lijomol Jose is said to play the female lead in this venture, marking another intriguing addition to the film’s ensemble. While an official announcement is yet to be made, the buzz has already caught the attention of fans, given the trio’s strong credentials and the unique mix of talent involved.
This film will mark the third collaboration between Vijay Sethupathi and Balaji Tharaneetharan, following their highly acclaimed works Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom and Seethakkathi, both celebrated for their depth and unconventional storytelling. The duo’s reunion, coupled with Atlee’s production involvement, raises expectations for yet another standout project in Tamil cinema.
Vijay Sethupathi, fondly called “Makkal Selvan,” is currently awaiting the release of Train, directed by Mysskin. The actor also has an impressive lineup ahead, including films with Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi, ace filmmaker Mani Ratnam, and Thalaivan Thalaivii director Pandiraj.
If confirmed, the Vijay Sethupathi – Balaji Tharaneetharan – Atlee collaboration could emerge as one of the most exciting and high profile projects in Kollywood, blending artistic depth with mainstream appeal: a combination that audiences have long admired from all three talents.
