The Raavanan star is in the news again. And this time around for his latest Malayalam flick, which he’s agreed to do for free.
Yes, I’ll be doing the film,” says the excited actor, when BT spoke to him, “I’ll be doing it for free as I want to give something back to the Kerala audiences who are waiting to see me in Malayalam.”
The film will be directed by ace film-maker Roshan Andrews, who directed superhit movies like Notebook and Evidam Swargamanu. He has also done Udayanu Tharam, which was later remade into Tamil as Vellithirai and in Hindi as Shortkut — The Con is On. Roshan is considered one of the most promising film-makers in Malayalam cinema and is known for his realistic portrayals of characters.
If reports are to be believed, the Malayalam director met Chiyaan Vikram in Chennai recently and had narrated the script to the star. According to reports, Vikram was bowled over by the script and story narration, and instantly agreed to do the film sometime next year after he completed his current projects in Tamil.
Meanwhile, Roshan is also busy completing Casanova, a big-budget, romantic action thriller starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, and another project that might have Prithviraj in the lead. It looks like after testing waters in Bollywood, Chiyaan Vikram is all set to explore the waters in God’s Own Country, too.
