After a lot of hide and seek over the past two months, Shruti Haasan has finally confirmed that she is indeed pairing with Ilayathalapathy Vijay for the first time. “Am super happy to be vijay sirs leading lady in Chimbudevan’s next! Time to make an epic film! #tamilponnu #excitement #superu #whatastory,” posted Shruti Haasan on Twitter. Fondly called by fans as Vijay 58, this untitled film is billed as a fantasy flick and the team is on a location hunt to shoot the film in breathtaking locales. Hansika Motwani is likely to be the second heroine and an official announcement is still awaited from her end.
Kichcha Sudeep of Naan Ee fame and yesteryear heartthrob Sridevi play pivotal roles in the film. Devi Sri Prasad composes music and he has earlier said in an interview that it will be his biggest film. Vijay 58 is expected to go on floors towards the end of August.
