Thalapathy Vijay’s upcoming film, “The Greatest of All Time” (GOAT), has made headlines in London before its official release on September 5. This film is one of the most anticipated releases of 2024, featuring Vijay in dual roles. Directed by Venkat Prabhu, GOAT is creating excitement among fans due to its unique storyline.
GOAT has achieved a historic milestone by becoming the first South Indian film to be showcased on the iconic Leicester Square screen in London. This achievement is a significant moment for South Indian cinema. Ahimsa Entertainment announced this landmark event on their social media, stating, “London, witness history! Thalapathy Vijay and #TheGreatestOfAllTime on Leicester Square’s world-famous outdoor screen TODAY — the first time a South Indian film is shown on this prestigious screen. This once-in-a-lifetime event runs ALL DAY. Our photographers arrive at 2 PM to capture the excitement, so make sure you’re there!”
In addition to this historic screening, the film is performing well in advance ticket sales, reportedly surpassing $1.5 million in overseas markets. This strong pre-release performance suggests that GOAT is poised for significant box office success upon its theatrical release.
GOAT is described as a sci-fi action thriller, inspired by the 2004 Moscow Metro bombing. In the film, Vijay portrays two characters: a father, Gandhi, who is a member of a special anti-terrorist squad, and his son.
Director Venkat Prabhu recently shared his thoughts on working with Vijay. He expressed that directing such a prominent figure was initially daunting. However, he found Vijay to be accommodating and supportive, making the process enjoyable. Prabhu noted, “It was a fun one year. We traveled across the globe. We went to Los Angeles, Russia, Tunisia, and Africa as the script is an espionage spy thriller. It was a fun and exciting ride.”
“The Greatest of All Time,” featuring Thalapathy Vijay, Meenakshi Chaudhary, and others, will be released in theaters on September 5.
