Chiyaan Vikram and Vani Bhojan have been roped in to play the lead roles in a film directed by Karthik Subbaraj.
Actor Vani Bhojan who played a titular role in Karthik Subbaraj's web series Triples will also play the female lead in Vikram's Chiyaan60. Touted to be a crime-drama, the film is directed by the same director Karthik Subbaraj which will feature Vikram and his son Dhruv Vikram together. The film will be produced by Lalit Kumar and the music of the film will be directed by Anirudh Ravichander.
SS Lalit Kumar of Seven Screen Studio, who is producing Vikram's upcoming film Cobra, helmed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, will also be bankrolling Chiyaan 60. The makers had previously confirmed that this yet-to-be-titled film will be released on April 14, but this date is expected to be pushed.
Chiyaan 60 will have music by Anirudh, who is reuniting with his Petta director, marking their second collaboration. Incidentally, this is also the second time Anirudh is composing the music for Vikram, after the Kanave Kanave track in the actor's 2013 film, David.
Dhruv Vikram will next be teaming up with Mari Selvaraj. Vikram, on the other hand, has almost wrapped up Cobra, following which he will shoot for Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan. Karthik Subbaraj, meanwhile, is awaiting the release of Jagame Thandhiram, starring Dhanush.
