It is well known that actor Vijay is working with director Venkat Prabhu for his next, tentatively titled Thalapathy 68. When Vijay does a film, fans and netizens find it hard to keep it to themselves, as they end up bombarding social media platforms with speculations and updates, which sometimes end up becoming rumours. 

In a similar light, reports have been making rounds that Thalapathy's upcoming film is titled Boss or Puzzle. Some media houses have also reported that the film will have an English title. Additionally, a few X accounts have posed to be Kichcha Sudeep, and have tweeted that the actor has joined the film's cast.

Giving clarity on the same, the film's producer Archana Kalpathi took to her official X handle on Wednesday. She wrote, "Just saw all the updates. Thank you for the love. Keep calm and wait for the real one very soon. Venkat Prabhu is cooking something special. It is definitely not Boss or Puzzle. Happy Morning everyone (sic)," she wrote, putting an end to all rumours.
