'Thalapathy 66' to have a second female lead; announcement arriving soon

After the success of 'Beast', Vijay has begun the work for his 66th film with director Vamshi Paidipally. The team has camped in Hyderabad for a major schedule, and the filming is underway on the set erected in a film city. Now, the latest report suggests that '

Thalapathy 66

' will have a second heroine, and the announcement is arriving soon. Touted to be a family entertainer, the makers have roped in several popular faces for key roles, while Rashmika Mandanna pairs up with Vijay for the first time in the film. The family drama will reportedly have one more heroine, and the makers have eyed a popular Tamil-Telugu actress for it.

At the same time, a parallel report suggests that Vijay will be playing a dual role and the second heroine will be pairing up with the second character. However, let's wait until the makers confirm the report, and announce the second heroine if any. Fans wish to see Pooja Hegde as the second female lead of 'Thalapathy 66' as Vijay praised his 'Beast' co-star and suggested her name earlier to the makers.

Meanwhile, Vijay, who has been shooting in Hyderabad, has met Telangana Chief Minister Chandrasekar Rao recently, and the pictures and videos from the meeting went viral on social media. But it's just a casual meeting as the actor has been near his office, and it has nothing to connect politically.
