Vikram's "Vedi" on shoots from from July 15th

After getting critical and box-office success with the opening of Raavanan, Vikram is still on promotional tour for the film.

He will be going to Kerala, Andhra and towards the end of the month to US, where he will be honoured by Tamizh Sangam.

Speaking with us Vikram said: “I’m so happy after going on a theatre round on the opening day of the release of Raavanan in Chennai. The response to the film has been simply amazing, as people are going crazy about it. Now for the next two weeks I will be promoting the film even more aggressively all over south India.”

Vikram will start his new film Vedi with Ileana, directed by Bhoopathy Pandian and produced by Mohan Natarajan on July 15 in Salem. It is a “typical mass commercial cocktail” where he will once again play a cop after Saamy. Devi Sri Prasad will provide music for the film.

Vijay bagged Vikram Role!.

Director Seeman had initially planned Pagalavan with Vikram in the lead and this venture was to have been produced by director Bala. However, Pagalavan did not take off and had to be shelved for various reasons. With Seeman now finding producer Kalaipuli S Thanu to finance this project, the work has begun. When Vikram was roped for this project, there was a buzz that Vijay was under consideration but Seeman had denied it. However, with the project now shifting hands from Bala to Kalaipuli S Thanu, it looks like Vijay will play the lead role.
