According to a source close to the development, Vijay will start shooting for the film in January.

“Lokesh Kanagaraj has finalised the script and has begun pre-production work on Thalapathy 67. A major portion of the movie will be shot in Kashmir, recce for which was done recently. The initial plan was to shoot the film in Munnar, but they have now zeroed down on Kashmir. Don’t be surprised if they start with a small schedule a bit earlier too,” informs a source close to the development. Reportedly, Trisha is also a part of the film.
