Cinematographer Manoj Paramahamsa has been roped in to helm the camera for Vijay's upcoming film, Thalapathy 65.

Manoj confirmed this on his Instagram page. He shared images of himself with Vijay from the sets of the 2012 film Nanban, in which the two had previously collaborated, with the caption: "Excited to start yet another journey with this wonderful human being loved by the entire state and very soon by the entire nation. Looking forward to working from where we left Nanban. Thalpathy 65 is going to be a pan-India affair. Get ready folks."

Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar of Kolamaavu Kokila fame, the film is bankrolled by Sun Pictures. Anirudh Ravichander will be in charge of the music, marking his third film with Vijay after Kaththi and Master.

Nelson Dilipkumar is currently working on Sivakarthikeyan’s Doctor, which is tentatively scheduled for a Summer 2021 release.
