KS Ravikumar, who had shared screen-space with Vikram in the 2009 film, Arul, has been roped in to play an important role in Vikram 58.

The film, which is believed to feature Vikram in multiple roles, has KGF-actor Srinidhi Shetty playing the female lead. Directed by Ajay Gnanamuthu, Vikram 58 will also have cricketer Irfan Pathan making his Tamil film debut.

With music by AR Rahman and cinematography by Sivakumar Vijayan, the film went on floors earlier this month. 

Meanwhile, Vikram has Mahavir Karna, Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan adaptation, and Gautham Menon’s long-delayed Dhruva Natchathiram, in various stages of production.
