Vikram and the team of Chiyaan61
Chiyaan Vikram fans have a reason to rejoice. After earning accolades for his role as Aditha Karikalan in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan, the actor has begun work on his next, which is tentatively being referred to as Chiyaan61. The film, directed by Pa Ranjith, is set in the pre-independence era and talks about a marginalised community in the Kolar Gold Field. It is inspired from the story of real-life miners who worked in K.G.F during the British era.Today, the look test of Vikram's character was held. Vikram has been sporting a beard for his character and was seen flaunting the same during the promotions of Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan.
Earlier, the film's director had revealed in an interview that the plot revolves around a community that has been yearning for recognition and respect for many years and that it is an attempt to get them the same. He also said that the film will have a strong and independent female lead, which will not necessarily be a love interest to Vikram's character. The director also stated that it will be an interesting world to delve into.
The film is said to be a pan-India project, which will be released in 3D. The first schedule is likely to begin on October 14 and the project will be shot on a grand scale. Producer Gnanavel Raja has been bankrolling the film under his Studio Green banner. Music for the film is by GV Prakash Kumar.
In the meantime, Chiyaan Vikram's Dhruva Natchathiram, directed by Gautham Menon, is also likely to release soon. The film is a spy thriller with an ensemble cast including Vikram, Simran, Aishwarya Rajesh, R Parthiban, Simran, Dhivyadarshini, Vinayakan, Arjun Das, Radikaa Sarathkumar to name a few. The director had recently revealed a picture hinting that the team might wrap up the remaining portions. Vikram has had two theatrical releases in 2022- Cobra and Ponniyin Selvan.
