Director Venkat Prabhu, presently engaged in the development of Vijay’s forthcoming cinematic venture, originally dubbed Thalapathy 68, recently elucidated the rationale behind his selection of an English appellation, “Greatest of All Time,” abbreviated as GOAT. The film, an electrifying fusion of speculative fiction and dynamism, has been generating substantial intrigue since its inception, with the unveiling of its title further intensifying discussions earlier in the year. Progress on the GOAT production is advancing steadily, with optimistic projections indicating a culmination of filming endeavors by April.
In a recent engagement with the media during the Tamil Nadu Film Directors Association elections, Venkat Prabhu insinuated an impending significant revelation concerning the film, assuring its disclosure within the span of a week. Elaborating on his preference for an English denomination, he cited the expediency of a singular title for a cross-linguistic rollout, referencing the triumph of films such as KGF in transcending language barriers through their English appellations.
Amplifying the anticipation, Venkat Prabhu divulged that the inaugural musical composition of the film will debut in May, accompanied by a striking revelation: Vijay himself has contributed his vocal talents to a composition within the film, thereby piquing curiosity among enthusiasts regarding its potential status as the inaugural musical release.
In the month of January, the film’s creators unveiled its preliminary promotional imagery and title. Captured amidst an array of international settings including Turkey and Thailand, GOAT is being financed by AGS Entertainment. With excitement reaching a crescendo, particularly owing to its designation as one of Vijay’s concluding cinematic endeavors prior to his full-fledged immersion into politics, aficionados are eagerly anticipating its theatrical debut.
Apart from Vijay, the illustrious ensemble cast of GOAT encompasses Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashanth, and others, while the musical score is being orchestrated by Yuvan Shankar Raja.
