The Atlee movie, which is tentatively titled as "Vijay 59", has Samantha Ruth Prabhu as the lead opposite Vijay after "Kaththi". Meanwhile, reports also suggest that "Vijay 59" has two lead actresses and Amy Jackson will be the other heroine.

Motta Rajendran, who gave an impeccable performance in "Darling", and veteran actress Radhikaa Sarathkumar will also be an integral part of "Vijay 59".

Atlee has roped in GV Prakash to compose music for the upcoming film and sources close to the project suggest that the songs will be a mix of melody as well as mass tunes.

Reports also indicate the team has recorded a peppy number, which is going to be a popular one, like "Selfie Pulla" from "Kaththi".
