After months of waiting and learning about the project via hearsay, it has been finally made official that Vikram Vedha, which features Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead, has been sanctioned and it went on the floors on Wednesday.

In this gangster drama, Madhavan plays an encounter cop and the story will be set against the backdrop of North Madras. Director duo Pushkar-Gayatri, best known for directing Oram Po, will helm the project under Y Not Studios.

Vijay Sethupathi will be seen playing a gangster, while Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar will be paired with him. U-Turn fame Shraddha Srinath has been roped in as Madhavan’s pair and she’s super excited to be teaming up with the Irudhi Suttru actor. Having recently met Maddy in a social gathering, she said she was charmed by his persona and awe-struck by his simplicity. She also said she’s looking forward to work with Pushkar-Gayatri as they complement each other so well.

It’s the first time Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi, who has had six releases so far this year, have joined hands and there’s great excitement surrounding this project.
