Kamal Haasan and Vikram to join hands for a movie!

Ulakanayakan Kamal Haasan officially announced that he would produce Chiyaan Vikram’s 56th film. The project will be helmed by Thoongavanam director Rajesh M Selva and will also star Kamal Haasan’s daughter Akshara Haasan. 

The untitled movie is being bankrolled by Kamal’s Raaj Kamal International along with Trident Arts. “My best wishes to Mr.Vikram, Ms.Akshara Haasan, Director Rajesh M Selva and Trident Arts who are joining hands with Raajkamal Films International to produce a film. Let us endeavor to make it a grand success,” Kamal Haasan tweeted on Saturday.On the other hand, the film’s director Rajesh tweeted, “Honoured to continue my association with Raajkamal Films in such a prestigious project with the ever-charming Chiyaan Vikram and @aksharahaasan1 Thanks to @tridentarts16. A very special thanks to Kamal sir for trusting my abilities.” 

Vikram, who has had only two releases — Iru Mugan and Sketch — in the last 16 months, is all set for a promising 2018 with an excellent line-up of projects up his sleeve. He is currently shooting for director Hari’s Saamy Square, which is already halfway through, and Gautham Menon’s Dhruva Natchathiram, which is on the brink of completion. Vikram will start shooting for Rajesh Selva’s film in March or April after completing his ongoing commitments and before he moves on to the Rs 300 crore magnum opus Mahavir Karna, which was announced a few days ago. 
According to some reports, the film could be a remake of a French film. After Sathyaraj’s Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupadu, Revathy’s Magalir Mattum, and R.Madhavan’s Nala Damayanthi, it is the fourth film that Kamal Haasan is producing which will not star himself. The movie will have music composed by Ghibran, who will continue his fruitful association with Kamal Haasan and Raaj Kamal Films International after a string of previously successful films. It must be noted that Ghibran and Kamal Haasan have produced fantastic soundtracks in Uttama Villain, Papanasam, and Thoongavanam. 

Kamal Haasan, who recently confirmed his political plunge, has several projects in the pipeline. The actor’s Vishwaroopam 2 and Sabash Naidu are yet to see daylight. He will also join hands with Shankar again for Indian 2. Amid all this, Kamal is also all set to take a state tour to meet the people and launch a political party this month.
