Though there have been reports since a long time that Sasikumar is in talks to direct Vijay, the project never materialized. In a recent interaction with media, Sasikumar revealed that he has scripts ready for both Ajith and Vijay. Sasikumar’s last-directed film was Eesan, which did not go down well at the box office as expected. With director for Vijay 61 yet to be clinched, can we expect the long-in-the-tooth Sasikumar-Vijay combo to take shape?
Sasikumar is currently gearing up for the release of Thaarai Thappattai, which is set for Pongal release along with a slew of films. Sasikumar plays the role of Sannaasi, who leads the Karagaattam dance troupe called Thaarai Thappattai. Paired opposite him is Varalaxmi Sarathkumar, who also knuckled down as an AD to director Bala in the film.
