‘The Greatest Of All Time’ trailer: Vijay stands tall as ‘The GOAT’ in Venkat Prabhu’s action entertainer
Thalapathy fans can now rejoice! The makers of Vijay’s upcoming film with Venkat Prabhu, GOAT (The Greatest Of All Time) have released the film’s trailer.
Venkat Prabhu took to social media to share the much-awaited trailer. In the trailer, Vijay is introduced as an hostage negotiator, field expert and a spy who is taking on the new position as the leader of a special team for an assignment. We also get a glimpse of the film’s extended cast and the trailer features references to Venkat’s previous hit Mankatha as well as callback to Vijay’s Ghilli.
The trailer offers a second glimpse of the film after the makers shared a clip on the occasion of the actor’s 50th birthday back in June, which confirmed that Vijay will be playing dual roles in the film and while one is that of a middle-aged, spectacles-wearing man, the other is a goatee-sporting youngster.
Apart from reports that the film is a sci-fi spectacle, GOAT is also a full-scale reunion of talents. Sneha is teaming up with Vijay after 22 years since Vaseegara, while music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja is working with Vijay after Pudhiya Geethai (2003). The star-studded cast also includes Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prabhu Deva, Prashanth, Laila, Vaibhav, Mohan, Jayaram and Ajmal Ameer.
Produced by Kalpathi S Aghoram’s AGS Entertainment, GOAT will be released on September 5, 2024, on the occasion of Vinayaka Chaturthi.
With the film, Venkat, who helmed Ajith Kumar’s Mankatha besides films like Chennai 600028 and Maanaadu, joins the coveted list of a handful of directors who have made films for both Vijay and Ajith Kumar — AR Murugadoss, Vasanth Sai, SJ Suryah, KS Ravikumar, Vikraman, Ezhil, AL Vijay, and Perarasu.
Meanwhile, earlier this year, Vijay on February 2 took the political plunge and announced the formation of his political party Tamizhaga Vetri Kazhagam. Positioning himself against the politics of “corruption” and “divisiveness”, Vijay declared that his party would enter the electoral fray in the 2026 Tamil Nadu Assembly elections.
