We had recently reported that actor Vishal will be joining hands with filmmaker Adhik Ravichandran for a pan-Indian project. Speculations are now rife that actor SJ Suryah, who received applause for his performance in the recently released Maanaadu, will be playing the villain in the film.

A source close to the team says, "The makers have approached SJ Suryah for the role of the villain but he is yet to sign on the dotted line." If the casting materialises, this will mark the first collaboration between Vishal and the Isai actor.

The film will be produced by Vinod Kumar, who also produced Vishal's latest release Enemy, through his banner, Mini Studios LLP. SJ Suryah, on the other hand, has Don, Bommai, an untitled web series in his slate of releases.
