As per rumours, Kalappai, meaning plough, is the title of Vijay's 62nd film. It is a tool that farmers worship the title is expected to instantly connect with the viewers. Hence, the makers are believed to have given a green signal for this title.

The name will be announced at the later date. Some reports claim that the title will be unveiled on the New Year eve along with the first look.

Vijay 62 is bankrolled by Sun Pictures. The makers are yet to announce the heroine although there are reports that many big names from South India as well as Bollywood have been approached.
