One of Thalapathy Vijay’s most awaited films this year, The Greatest of All Time (GOAT), has been generating significant buzz among audiences. Adding to the excitement, the makers recently revealed the movie’s new poster and worldwide theatrical release date.
Drawing from the genre of science fiction, GOAT marks Vijay’s 68th film. Written and directed by Venkat Prabhu, Vijay leads the cast in dual roles, portraying the antagonist as well as the protagonist in the film. The cast also includes Meenakshi Chaudhary, Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, and others.
The makers are currently shooting the film in Russia. On Tuesday, producer Aishwarya Kalpathi shared a video featuring Vijay riding a small kick scooter. Along with the video, she captioned, “How the day started today @actorvijay sir #GreatestofAllTime.”

During the announcement of the release date, the makers took to X (formerly Twitter) and unveiled a new poster. The new visual features Vijay in a white formal shirt, complemented by spectacles and a beard. The poster also specified that the movie will hit theaters worldwide on September 5, 2024. Initially, the makers had planned for an August 15 release but rescheduled it due to the release of Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2.
Director Venkat Prabhu also shared the same poster, writing ,“Eid vaazhthukaludan.. vinayaga chathurthi ku varrom #TheGreatestOfAllTime from SEPTEMBER 5th!! Namma #Thalapathy ku #WhistlePodu @actorvijay @archanakalpathi @aishkalpathi @thisisysr #TheGOAT #aVPhero. ( With Eid greetings, we are arriving on Ganesh Chaturthi. Whistle for our Thalapathy).
Furthermore, recent reports from OTTplay confirmed that Netflix has secured the digital streaming rights. Meanwhile, the popular banner Phars Films has acquired overseas rights for a substantial amount. However, an official announcement regarding the OTT release date is yet to be made.
Aside from this, Vijay recently announced his plans to contest the 2026 elections with his new political party, Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam. He expressed his aim, stating, “I am aiming for a corruption-free, progressive, and secular government, considering the current political climate that divides people by religion and caste, and one could witness corruption everywhere.”
The Greatest of All Time is set to hit screens on September 5, 2024.
