The puja ceremony of Thalapathy 69 was held in Chennai on Friday morning

The film will mark Thalapathy Vijay's last film as he plans to draw the curtain on his acting career and focus entirely on politics

The team of Thalapathy 69 includes Pooja Hegde, Bobby Deol, Mamitha Baiju, Priyamani, Prakash Raj, and Narain

Pooja Hegde is one of the female leads of the film. This marks Pooja's second collaboration with Vijay

The duo had earlier worked together in the film 'Beast'.  The film’s song Arabic Kuthu became a chartbuster and was immensely popular nationwide. With this dynamic duo back together, the excitement surrounding Thalapathy 69 has only grown stronger

The film will be directed by H Vinoth

Apart from Pooja, the filmmakers have also roped in Mamitha Baiju who has become all the rage in south after the success of her rom-com Malayalam film 'Premalu'. Mamitha started with small roles in films like 'Varathan,' 'Kilometers and Kilometers', 'Operation Java' and others

The musical landscape of this epic will be crafted by none other than the maestro Anirudh Ravichander, ensuring that Thalapathy's swan song will resonate in hearts long after the credits roll

The production team is equally packed with stalwarts, with co-producers Jagadish Palanisamy and Lohith. N. K joining forces to bring this silver-screen mammoth to life, while producer Venkat K Narayana leads the charge, determined to make the film as iconic as the star spearheading it
