Actor Vikram was last seen in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, which was released in March 2025. The actor, after a long break, announced that he will be uniting with his Iru Mugan director Anand Shankar for his next, tentatively titled Chiyaan 63.

Reportedly, the film has gone on floors on Sunday. If the reports are to be believed, Vikram returns to shooting more than a year after the release of his last film. However, the makers are yet to confirm if the film has commenced production.

Recently, Riya Shibu was announced as the film's female lead, marking her Tamil debut. Interestingly, Riya Shibu backed Vikram's hit Veera Dheera Sooran – Part 2 (2025) under HR Pictures.

Vikram and Anand Shankar's first collaboration was Iru Mugan ten years ago. When the film was announced last month, a promo video introduced Vikram as a chef targeted by a gang. A conversation which takes place in a voiceover reveals that he is also a gangster. Anand Shankar has written the film, which has dialogues by Shan Karuppusamy.

Chiyaan 63 will feature music composed by Santhosh Narayanan, who last worked on a Vikram film in 2022, with Karthik Subbaraj's Mahaan. The crew of the film includes director of photography RD Rajasekar ISC, editor Raymond Derrick Crasta, production designer Rajeevan, and art director Surya Rajeevan.

Reports also suggested that MS Bhaskar and Urvashi are set to join the cast in prominent roles, but the makers are yet to confirm the same. If true, MS Bhaskar will be reuniting with Vikram after Deiva Thirumagal (2011) and Thaandavam (2012).

TG Thyagarajan is producing the film under the Sathya Jyothi Films banner. Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan are also producing, with G Saravanan and Sai Siddharth serving as co-producers. Plot and genre details, along with extended cast details, are awaited.
