Not Thalapathy Vijay, but THESE actors were first choices for The Greatest Of All Time? All you need to know

As an ardent fan of Thalapathy Vijay, I must say that the latest news about his upcoming film, The Greatest Of All Time, has sent me into a whirlwind of excitement! The fact that Venkat Prabhu initially had Rajinikanth and Dhanush in mind for the project only to be replaced by the charismatic Vijay himself is simply mind-blowing.


One of Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming movies, The Greatest Of All Time, is generating a lot of excitement right now. Set to hit theaters on September 5, 2024, this film holds significant importance for fans as it could be one of his last projects before he fully immerses himself in politics. Interestingly, you might not know that the movie’s director, Venkat Prabhu, had not originally planned to cast Thalapathy Vijay for the project.

According to a recent report by News18 Malayalam, it was initially planned for Rajinikanth and Dhanush to play the father-son duo in the upcoming film GOAT. However, it seems that Thalapathy Vijay has taken on both roles in this movie, playing double parts instead.

Initially, Venkat Prabhu planned to cast Rajinikanth and Dhanush in his project, but after discovering the option of using technology to portray de-aging on screen, he decided to replace them both with Thalapathy Vijay. Consequently, Vijay was selected for the dual roles, necessitating some adjustments to the storyline to accommodate this change.

Nonetheless, neither the creators nor the actors have provided any formal statement about it as of now.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express my excitement over Thalapathy Vijay’s dual roles in the upcoming film! The tantalizing glimpses from the trailer have already hinted at the exhilarating actions and stunts that will undoubtedly be featured. In this captivating tale, Vijay will embody two distinct characters: a character named Gandhi, who is the father, and Jeevan, his son.

Previously, during an interview, film director Venkat Prabhu gave some hints about what viewers can anticipate when they watch The Greatest Of All Time in cinemas. He highlighted the unexpected twists and turns in the storylines, which increases the anticipation, but only if watched continuously.

Venkat Prabhu stated, “I dare say that you won’t be able to foresee the next sequence or guess where the movie is going. It will feel like Mankatha on a power boost.”

Additionally, the director explained that he had made the film’s genre quite obvious in the trailer. However, viewers failed to accurately predict the genre before watching the movie.

Apart from the lead role played by Thalapathy Vijay, the film also features Prabhu Deva, Prashanth, Ajmal Ameer, Mohan, Jayaram, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and other notable actors in significant parts.
