Vijay Kumar addresses rumours about the title of his upcoming action film

Speaking at the film’s teaser launch, the actor said, “[Brad Pitt’s] Fight Club is a cult classic. It will always remain a favourite for everyone. Even today, the film has got so many fans. Our team had discussed many titles, but this one felt the most apt. But in no way, we would want to tarnish the reputation of the cult classic. In fact, we hope our film could serve as a tribute to the David Fincher movie.”

Abbas A Rahmath on Fight Club’s plot

Sharing more about the film’s story, Abbas, who has worked as an assistant to Vijay earlier, said, “Fight Club is a coming-of-age story. The film traverses the protagonist’s life as he finishes school and heads to college. Fight Club will also explore student rivalry, the protagonist’s love story, how he goes on the wrong path and finally finds his redemption.”

Fight Club’s cast and crew

The cast of Fight Club also includes debutante Monisha Mohan Menon, who has previously worked on a few short films in Malayalam as the female lead. Avinash Raghudevan of Jil Jung Juk fame, Karthikeyan Santhanam, Shankar Das and Saravanavel are also playing pivotal roles in the upcoming film.
