Earlier this week it was announced that Vikram and director Hari will be reuniting for the sequel to the 2003 blockbuster film Saamy, and the news sent fans into a frenzy. However, according to the latest update, fans have to wait a little longer to see Saamy 2 on the silver screen, as the project will only go on the floors next year. Apparently, Vikram will have to complete his long delayed Garuda before he commences work on Saamy 2, which also stars Kajal Aggarwal.

According to a source, it was director Hari who suggested that he will wait for Vikram to complete Garuda, which will be helmed by Thiru. Garuda was announced even before Vikram started working on Iru Mugan, and he was supposed to simultaneously shoot for both the projects. However, due to some unfortunate events, the mega-budget Garuda was postponed and Vikram went ahead and shot Iru Mugan.

Vikram is now obliged to work on Garuda because he has already been paid advance and he has kept director Thiru waiting for over a year. The regular shooting of Garuda is expected to start from later this year.
