Magizh Thirumeni was Vijay's first choice to direct his 64th film

Actor Vijay has become the top actor in Tamil cinema, and his movies collect great numbers at the box office. Vijay last delivered the sports drama 'Bigil' with Atlee, and it turned out as the highest-grossing film of the actor.
After finishing the work for 'Bigil', Vijay was very much impressed by the storyline narrated by director Magizh Thirumeni, and had plans of the team up with him in his 64th film.However, at the same time, another famous actor already signed Magizh Thirumeni. So, Vijay couldn't collaborate with him and later roped in Lokesh Kanagaraj to direct his 64th film.
Vijay's film with Lokesh Kanagaraj has been titled 'Master', and is set to release on a festival date. But an unfortunate thing is that Magizh Thirumeni hasn't started the work for his next, and he is expected to join hands with Vijay in the future. Magizh Thirumeni is popular for delivering action thrillers, and his films 'Thadaiyara Thaakka', 'Meaghamann', and 'Thadam' were well received by the audience.
Meanwhile, Vijay is next reported to join hands with AR Murugadoss in his 65th film, and the official announcement of it is awaited.
