The teaser, which runs for over a minute, features a dramatic smoke-filled setup, with Vikram’s character making a powerful presence, accompanied by an energetic track composed by Santhosh Narayanan. Titled First Flame, the teaser indicates that the makers are yet to begin production, teasing what promises to be a massive action spectacle.
While more details about the movie are yet to be revealed, online reports suggest that Sarvam Maya fame Riya Shibu might play the co-lead. Interestingly, the actress also produced Vikram’s last film, Veera Dheera Sooran.
Earlier, Vikram and Anand Shankar collaborated on Iru Mugan, a sci-fi action thriller that followed an ex-RAW agent tracking down a scientist who created a hazardous drug capable of boosting adrenaline levels.
With Nayanthara as the co-lead, Vikram played dual roles as both the protagonist and antagonist. The film also featured Nithya Menen, Nassar, Thambi Ramaiah, Karunakaran, Riythvika, Jasper, and others in key roles. It received positive reviews and was a box office success.
Initially, Chiyaan Vikram had announced that his next project would be with debut director Bodi Rajkumar. The update was shared by the production company Shanti Talkies, and the film was expected to be an action thriller. However, no further updates have been provided since then.
Moreover, there was an earlier announcement that the actor might collaborate with director Madonne Ashwin, but it now appears that the project has been shelved.
Chiyaan Vikram’s work front
Chiyaan Vikram was last seen in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2. Directed by SU Arun Kumar, the action thriller also starred Dushara Vijayan, SJ Suryah, and Suraj Venjaramoodu in key roles.
