Thalapathy Vijay’s much-anticipated film, GOAT, aka The Greatest of All Time, hit theatres today, marking a major moment in the Tamil superstar’s career. Known for his massive fan following and his impressive box office hits, Vijay has built a legacy in Tamil cinema over the years. With GOAT, the actor is preparing to step away from the big screen, as it is his second-to-last film before he shifts focus to politics.
The film’s director, Venkat Prabhu, shared his thoughts on the project, describing it as a celebration of Vijay’s career. While talking to NDTV, Venkat mentioned that he treated GOAT like a farewell film, ensuring it would be something special for both the star and his audience. Prabhu explained that his goal was to create a joyful cinematic experience that would feel like a party for viewers, saying, “For general audience, it will be like a celebration for cinema. I have tried to make it look different from his previous films. He has played older roles even in a film called Bigil. He has done father and a son role. In this film, there are lot of things in combination. It’s a complete film. We even used de-ageing technology to show two versions of Vijay in the film.”
Further in this entertainment news piece, the excitement surrounding the film is shared by Vijay’s co-star, Premgi, who plays the role of Sneha’s brother in GOAT. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Premgi spoke enthusiastically about the film’s potential, predicting that it could earn ₹1500 crore globally.

Wait and watch.”
