Venkat Prabhu on pressure of making The Greatest of All Time: 'Thalapathy Vijay fans demand nonstop...'

Filmmaker Venkat Prabhu seems a little overwhelmed by the pressure he constantly faces from fans of Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay. He's helming Vijay for the first time in the upcoming movie, The Greatest of All Time, and he's constantly flooded with requests for new updates about the production.

"Sometimes, looking at the audience's excitement makes me happy, but I wonder if they are going overboard sometimes. That's their love towards Thalapathy, and we can't do much about it. We released a small promo video on Thalapathy's birthday, and the very next day they started asking for a new update," Venkat Prabhu told the media.

The teaser for The Greatest of All Time revealed Vijay's double role and gave a glimpse of the movie's top-notch VFX and stunts. The filmmakers are now gearing up for the launch of the third single, which is due on Saturday.

But the fans can't seem to get enough of what Venkat has been making for almost a year now. When will The Greatest of All Time trailer be released? This is the question that the director faces everywhere he goes.

"We will release the trailer two weeks before the film's release. These days, they don't release it too early before the release," he said.

Venkat revealed that he's now busy overseeing the rerecording and special effects work on The Greatest of All Time. "I have tried to show Thalapathy Vijay differently in this movie," said Venkat. Different how? Well, Venkat refused to elaborate on that, asking the audience to see for themselves.

Venkat noted that the filmmakers were ready for the audio launch and were waiting for Thalapathy Vijay's approval to go ahead with it. The music launch events are very special for fans of Vijay as it's the only time they get to see him open up about his movies.
