Temporarily titled ‘Chiyaan 60’, the film is being produced by Lalit Kumar of Seven Screen Studio. The announcement for this film came in June 2020 and the first look poster showed a sketch of a man’s hand handing over a gun to a child.
Karthik currently awaits the release of Jagame Thandhiram starring Dhanush in the lead. This film, produced by YNOT Studios, may not have a theatrical release, much to the disappointment of both the director and the actor in addition to scores of fans. Jagame Thandhiram too has music by Santhosh Narayanan. This film is a multi-starrer with actors like Aishwarya Lekshmi and Braveheart fame James Cosmo being a part of its cast.
This will be Dhruv’s second film after his debut Adithya Varma that released last year. This film was the remake of the popular Telugu film Arjun Reddy and in Tamil, it received a lukewarm response.
Vikram was last seen in Kadaram Kondan that did not take off at the box-office. The actor has Ajay Gnanamuthu’s Cobra and the long delayed Dhruva Natchatiram with Gautham Vasudev Menon in the pipeline. Vikram is also working on two big budget projects - RS Vimal’s Mahavir Karna and Mani Rathnam’s Ponniyin Selvan.
