Chennai, India (August 20, 2024) – Excitement is brewing in the Tamil film industry as superstar Thalapathy Vijay prepares to grace the silver screen once again with his upcoming film, “GOAT – Greatest Of All Time”. The recently released trailer has generated significant buzz, sparking both fervent fan enthusiasm and online discussions regarding Vijay’s appearance in the movie.
While fans are eagerly anticipating the film’s release, speculation has arisen concerning Vijay’s potential foray into politics and its impact on his acting career. Addressing this curiosity, director Venkat Prabhu clarified, “GOAT is a purely commercial film. There are no political references woven into the narrative. Vijay sir is a dedicated actor, and we have never discussed politics during production.”*
Prabhu acknowledges that certain dialogues in the trailer might allude to a political connection. However, he assures viewers that these elements seamlessly fit within the film’s storyline and are not intended to promote any political agenda. He further elaborates, “It’s not a political reference, it’s a Ghilli reference. It’s Ghilli-tical.” This statement draws a parallel to the 2019 film Ghilli, sparking a discussion about the use of religious iconography in a non-political context.
Prabhu expresses his personal desire, shared by many fans, to see Vijay continue acting. He reveals, “I even asked him if he could balance both [acting and politics]. He simply smiled and said, we’ll see.” While Vijay’s future acting trajectory remains uncertain, Prabhu acknowledges the actor’s aspirations beyond cinema and encourages his fans to offer their support.
“GOAT – Greatest Of All Time” stars Vijay in the lead role, alongside a talented cast including Sneha, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prasanth, Laila, and Prabhu Deva. The film, slated for a September release, features music composed by the renowned Yuvan Shankar Raja. This action-packed spectacle promises to be a major cinematic event, further solidifying Vijay’s position as a leading force in Tamil cinema.
