Confirming
the
news,
the
young
director
clarified
that

will
not
be

for
the
film,
instead,
the

has
roped
in

to
score
music.
Thanking

music

For
the
unversed,
Karthik
had
announced
Anirudh's
inclusion
in
the
project
during
the
initial
announcement
of
the
film,
and
now
with
the
clarification,
looks
like
the
music
composer
is
out
owing
to
reasons
best
known
to
the
team.
Touted
to
be
a
gangster
flick,
#Chiyaan60
marks
the
first
project
to
unite
the
stylish
father-son
duo
Vikram
and
Dhruv
for
the
first
time.
Bankrolled
by
Lalit
Kumar
under
his
banner
Seven
Screen
Studio,
the
film
is
expected
to
release
in
late
2021
or
early
2022.
Meanwhile,
Vikram
is
also
busy
with
his
other
projects
including
Cobra
helmed
by
Ajay
Gnanamuthu
and
Mani
Ratnam's
Ponniyin
Selvan.
On
the
other
hand,
Dhruv
is
likely
to
team
up
with
Gautham
Vasudev
Menon
for
his
next.
Also,
Karthik
Subbaraj
is
done
with
all
post-production
activities
of
his
film
with
Dhanush
titled
Jagame
Thandhiram.
After
much
speculation,
the
gangster
drama
is
all
set
to
have
a
direct-to-OTT
release
on
Netflix.
However,
the
official
release
date
is
yet
to
be
confirmed.
