Thalapathy 65 will be Vijay's fourth collaboration with Sun Pictures after Sarkar, Sura and Vettaikaaran. According to Filmi Beat, the project might be titled Target Raja. The makers are yet to unveil the rest of the cast, as well as the technical crew.

Vijay is currently awaiting the release of Master that is expected to hit cinemas on Pongal 2021. The gangster drama was unable to screen in cinemas due to cinemas shutting down amid the COVID-19 nationwide lockdown. 

Nelson, on the other hand, is in the process of concluding his second directorial Doctor starring Sivakarthikeyan.
