To mark the joyous occasion of Thalapathy Vijay's 50th birthday, director Venkat Prabhu released his first glimpse from their upcoming film, 'The Greatest of All Time' aka 'GOAT'. The special teaser, named 'The GOAT Bday Shots', sees the actor don an action-packed avatar. Touted as a science fiction action film, 'GOAT' has been written by Venkat. It also stars Prasanth, Prabhu Deva, Ajmal Ameer, Vaibhav, Meenakshi Chaudhry, Sneha, Mohan, Laila and Jayaram in key roles.
It's double the celebrations for Thalapathy fans as the makers of 'GOAT' have released a special teaser of the upcoming film on the actor's 50th birthday. In another double dose of entertainment, fans are overjoyed to learn that the film will see Vijay play a dual role.
The special teaser sees one of Vijay's characters riding a bike and the other one firing shots from the passenger seat as the duo makes waves on the foreign shores while masked goons chase them. The thrilling background music further sets an exhilarating tone, adding to the anticipation of viewers. “Happy birthday to THE GOAT @actorvijay na. Love you na,” wrote Venkat, sharing the glimpse on X (formerly Twitter).
The 50-second clip offering a glimpse into what's about to unfold was also screened at multiple theatres. Fans have now taken to X to share pictures and videos from the screening, which sees the audience going crazy after seeing Vijay on the big screen.
'GOAT' is one of the most ambitious projects of director Venkat. He has used de-ageing technology for one of the characters played by Vijay to make him look younger. Yuvan Shankar Raja composed the film’s music. The lyrical video of the film's first song 'Whistle Podu' was released by the makers in April, and the song 'Chinna Chinna Kangal' is slated for release on Saturday evening.
'The Greatest of All Time' will be released in theatres on September 5.
