Vikram and Pa Ranjith are teaming up for the first time and naturally, expectations will be high, not just among the fans but by general film-lovers as well. Vikram hasn’t been in the best of form of late, so Pa Ranjith is expected to give him that much needed big hit. Interestingly, the director is also backing Vikram’s son Dhruv’s upcoming film with Mari Selvaraj. Its shoot is likely to begin after Mari wraps up his next with Udhayanidhi Stalin.

Vikram meanwhile has Ajay Gnanamuthu’s ‘Cobra’ and Karthik Subbaraj’s ‘Mahaan’ lined up.
