Vivek gives Freedom to Madhavan

Director Vivek Agnihotri, who is best known for his 'mysterious-than- thou' kind of suspense film Chocolate, and also India's first ever football-centric film Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal (which was also his last release), has been out of the picture for quite sometime now. Well, the good news is that the man is back with his next film, a biopic titled Freedom. And the news is that he has signed R. Madhavan as the main lead for the film.

While Maddy, who is on a roll after the immense success of 3 Idiots, remained unavailable for comment, Vivek Agnihotri confirmed, "Yes, I have signed Madhavan for my next film titled Freedom. And I am planning to approach yet another southern superstar Mohanlal."

Meanwhile, Vivek is also planning a film titled 12. Says Vivek, "12 is a film that will be based on the famous Hollywood classic 12 Angry Men. And I am scouting for 12 talented actors from all across the country. I am planning to announce the film officially in the month of March."
