‘GOAT’ director says Thalapathy Vijay's film will be as memorable as Ajith's Mankatha

The director has promised a lot of surprises for Thalapathy fans and believes that this film will be as memorable

Thalapathy Vijay’s GOAT or Greatest of All Time is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2024 as the Tamil star is all set to move out of cinema into politics.

Directed by Venkat Prabhu, GOAT looks like a stylish and highly-entertaining outing for Vijay fans and the audience, as can be seen from the trailer.

The multistarrer, produced by AGS Productions, also features Sneha, Prabhu Deva, Prashanth, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Laila, Mohan, Jayaram and Vaibhav, while the music is by Venkat Prabhu’s cousin Yuvan Shankar Raja.

The director has promised a lot of surprises for Thalapathy fans and believes that this film will be as memorable as Mankatha (2011), his flick with Ajith Kumar.

In this chat with Hindustan Times, director Venkat Prabhu talks about Vijay, GOAT and more.

"It was a truly wonderful experience! Initially, I was a bit scared, but he made me feel extremely comfortable and after a few days, I was my usual self. He is someone who is so professional and comes prepared to the set. He is very observant and he’ll be sitting quietly looking around him on set. And when he comes in front of the camera and you call action, he just becomes so energetic and delivers a perfect shot. This is quite remarkable. And in GOAT, he plays two roles – one character is quieter and the other is extremely active and he embodies both I think."
