Shankar
has
kick-started
his
next
movie
I
in
Chennai
on
Sunday
(July
15)
at
a
low-key
ceremony
held
at
a
studio.
The
director
has
also
launched
the
first
look
of
the
forthcoming
movie
starring
Vikram.
The
poster
of
I
indicates
that
it
is
a
romantic-thriller,
as
told
by
Shankar
earlier.
In
the
first
look,
we
can
see
Vikram
carrying
his
girlfriend
on
his
shoulder
and
the
red
background
makes
us
believe
that
it
could
be
a
violent
love
story.
About
the
title
of
the
movie,
the
director
had
earlier
said,
"I
means
beauty,
king,
guru,
astonishment,
vulnerability
(softness/gentleness)
etc."
Meanwhile,
Shankar
has
reportedly
roped
in
Amy
Jackson
to
play
the
female
lead
after
Samantha
opted
out
of
the
movie
citing
date
issues.
It
also
features
Santhanam,
Malayalam
actor
Suresh
Gopi,
Ramkumar
(Nadigar
Thilakam
Sivaji
Ganesan's
eldest
son)
and
others
in
the
cast.
The
technical
crew
comprises
of
Oscar
Award
winner
AR
Rahman,
cinematographer
PC
Sriram,
costume
designer
of
Men
in
Black
series
Mary
Vogt,
stunt
directors
Peter
Ming
of
China
and
Anal
Arasu,

director
