Thalapathy Vijay’s next film initially referred to as Thalapathy68 has been titled GOAT (Greatest Of All Time).
Director Venkat Prabhu, in a recent media interaction at the Tamil Nadu Film Directors; Association’s elections, revealed the reason behind giving an English title to GOAT.
According to the director, he intentionally used an English title for the film since he aimed to have maximum reach. As the highly anticipated film is set to release in multiple languages, the English title would mean, there would be no need to change it in the dubbed versions.
Venkat Prabhu also drew parallels with the sensational hit KGF franchise, which crossed the language barriers to become a hit in all four Southern languages.
The filmmaker also spoke of the next big update regarding GOAT. He hinted at the update on his X handle on 14 March.
