Following Beast, Thalapathy Vijay will see his next big release, Varisu, tentatively titled earlier as Thalapathy 66, during the Pongal 2023 weekend. Pushpa star Rashmika Mandanna has been brought on board as the female lead while Prabhudeva, Prakash Raj and other have been roped in as key supporting characters. Vamshi Paidipally, who has since made a name for himself in Telugu cinema with hits like Maharshi, Yevadu, Brindavanam and Oopiri, is directing the film and S Thaman is composing the music. There's been a worrying development though as the latest Varisu update suggests that the shoot has been abruptly stopped.

As per a report in India Glitz, the shoot of Thalapathy Vijay and Rashmika Mandanna starrer had to be suddenly stopped as Director Vamshi Paidipally had taken seriously ill, following weeks on end where he worked non-stop sans hardly any breaks. The report further states that doctors have now advised him strict bed rest for some time. However, said report adds that he'll be taking a break to convalesce for no more than a week, after which the Varisu shoot is expected to resume, with both lead actors as well as the rest of the cast, including Prakash Raj, Prabhudeva and others.
