The GOAT's third single, Spark: Vijay and Meenakshi Chaudhary impress in this dance number, but…

With less than 35 days left till Thalapathy Vijay’s The Greatest of All Time hits theatres, the makers of the upcoming sci-fi actioner have been teasing audiences with several new updates. Although the team has yet to wrap up the shooting, musical promotions for the film have begun, with the latest being the release of the third single from the film.

Titled 'Spark', the new single features Thalapathy Vijay and Meenakshi Chaudhary’s sizzling chemistry in the upbeat dance number. Composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja, the song has vocals by Yuvan and Vrusha Balu. 

While the peppy track has been well-received by audiences and fans, what caught everyone's attention was Thalapathy Vijay’s de-aged look. In the video, the actor looks significantly younger compared to other scenes in the film. 

It has been confirmed that Meenakshi will be romancing the younger version of Vijay's character in the film. However, some fans found the de-aged facial structure of Vijay to be unusual, with many not being happy with the result. 

Nonetheless, the final output will be revealed on the big screen when the film releases on September 5, 2024.

De-ageing technology used in The GOAT

Directed by Venkat Prabhu, The Greatest of All Time is the maiden collaboration between Vijay and the director. The movie has reportedly used digital de-ageing technology to show Vijay in the dual roles of father and son. It has also been reported that the team spent a whopping Rs 6 crore on the de-ageing process.

Besides Thalapathy Vijay, the movie features a stellar cast that includes Mohan, Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Jayaram, Laila, Sneha, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Yogi Babu, VTV Ganesh, Vaibhav, Premgi Amaran, Aravind Akash, and Ajmal Ameer. 

The original score and songs are composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. Siddhartha Nuni is handling the cinematography for the film, which is produced by AGS Entertainment.
