Post
his
political
commitments,
Kamal
Haasan
is
all
set
to
start
shooting
for
his
next,
Vikram
with
Lokesh
Kanagaraj.
It
was
recently
reported
that
actors
Vijay
Sethupathi
and
Fahad
Faasil
will
also
join
the
team
as
soon
as
the
shoot
begins
in
Chennai.
However,
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19
pandemic
and
the
lockdown
imposed
in
the
state
has
forced
the
makers
to
alter
the
previously
planned
schedule.
Though
there
is
no
confirmation,
latest
report
suggests
that
Thalapathy
Vijay's
Master
cinematographer
Sathyan
Sooryan
who
was
earlier
zeroed
in
for
Vikram,
has
now
walked
out
of
the
film
owing
to
the
same
reason.
It
is
said
that
the
renowned
cinematographer
has
been
replaced
by
Girish
Gangadharan
of
Vijay's
Sarkar,
due
to
schedule
conflicts.
Notably,
an
official
confirmation
about
Girish's
inclusion
is
yet
to
be
made
by
the
makers.
Talking
about
the
film,
Vikram
is
touted
to
be
an
out
and
out
political
thriller,
which
will
include
subjects
like
governance,
corruption
and
crime.
Interestingly,
the
film's
official
title
teaser
released
on
November
7,
2020,
was
well-received
by
the
audience.
Bankrolled
by
Kamal
Haasan's
production
company
Raaj
Kamal
Films
International,
Vikram
will
reportedly
have
the
Ulaganayagan
essaying
the
role
of
a
cop,
who
is
on
a
mission
to
chase
down
a
serial
killer.
Vikram's
pre-production
process
has
already
begun.
On
a
related
note,
Kamal
Haasan's
another
highly
anticipated
film
Indian
2
is
currently
in
legal
trouble.
Reportedly,
the
makers
of
the
film
Lyca
Productions
sought
the
help
of
Madras
High
Court
to
restrain
director
Shankar
from
working
on
his
Bollywood
and
Tollywood
projects
before
the
completion
of
their
film.
Currently,
the
film's
shoot
has
been
halted
and
the
final
decision
will
be
taken
by
the
Madras
HC
on
June
4,
2021.
