The actor has approved it and asked the director to flesh it out. Director PT Selvakumar and Kerala-based distributor Shibu will jointly produce the film. Many other filmmakers have already met Vijay and discussed scripts, but the actor has zeroed in on Chimbudevan. This film is expected to be in a genre that the actor has not tried so far in his career.”
The actor is scheduled to start shoot for Murugadoss’ film in February. If all goes well, Vijay is likely to take up Chimbudevan’s project once he completes that.
