"He definitely wants to bring Vijay also into the universe since he is playing a gangster. There is a version of Thalapathy 67 that has the presence of some characters from Kaithi and Vikram in it, but there are ample formalities and Lokesh is waiting to get approval from all the stakeholders before locking the final draft. While Kaithi is produced by SR Prabhu and Vikram by Raaj Kamal Productions, Thalapathy 67 is bankrolled by Seven Screen Studio," the source added.  Lokesh's idea is to make a universe consisting of 2 gangsters, a gang of agents, and a prisoner.

 Tamil cinema over the years has been following a strict template for the heroes to always be good beyond doubt and villains who are all dark. The past decade or so there has been a shift in the thinking and a few heroes have boldly played villains and succeeded too. In recent times Vijay Sethupathi who is at the peak of his career played the villain against top heroes Madhavan, Rajinikanth, Vijay and Kamal Haasan in 'Vikram Vedha', 'Petta', 'Master' and 'Vikram' respectively. In 'Vikram', Suriya who has the cleanest image both onscreen and offscreen has played the ruthless drug kingpin Rolex to thunderous response from the audiences and elevating the collections of the film. Now there is a strong buzz that Dhanush is in talks to play the villain against Thalapathy Vijay in 'Thalapathy 67' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. It is said that much like Rolex the character that Dhanush plays will be a powerful one. There is no official confirmatio

 Vijay starrer Beast ended its run at the box office with Rs. 169 crores approx in India and Rs. 236 crores worldwide. The film has done big numbers for a Kollywood movie but ended up being the lowest-grossing movie for Vijay since Mersal in 2017, thanks to a mixed to negative reception and to some degree, competition from the box office juggernaut KGF Chapter 2. Every Vijay release surpassed the previous one since 2017, a streak that ceased with this Nelson directorial. Beast is the fifth-highest grosser ever for Vijay in both India and worldwide. Released on April 13th, the film set the new opening day record in Tamil Nadu besting four years old record of Sarkar. The film posted strong numbers during the weekend but recorded declines after the weekend, eventually closing at Rs. 120 crores in the state, becoming the seventh-highest grosser ever in the state. The film also had a huge opening outside Tamil Nadu but dropped heavily with the release of KGF 2 on the second day.  The final
