Meanwhile, Vijay is awaiting the release of his film ‘Family Star,’ directed by Parasuram Petla. The multilingual release, supported by a cast including Abhinaya, Vasuki, Rohini Hattangadi, and Ravi Babu, is produced by Dil Raju and is set to hit theaters on April 5, 2024. Rashmika will make a special appearance in the film.
Vijay’s next project, tentatively titled ‘VD 12,’ will be directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri of ‘Jersey’ fame. Sree Leela will co-star with Vijay, and further details about the project are awaited. The film will have Vasu Varma as the creative producer, K.U. Mohanan as the cinematographer, and Gopi Sunder as the music director, with A.S. Prakash handling the art direction.
