Vivekh joins Harish Kalyan's Vicky Donor Tamil remake 

We had earlier reported that the 2012 Hindi romcom Vicky Donor, which marked the debut of Ayushmann Khurrana, is getting a Tamil remake, titled Dharala Prabhu and Harish Kalyan will be playing the lead role in it. Now, we hear that actor Vivekh, who was last seen in the Vivek Elangovan-directed Vellai Pookkal, will be playing the role of a doctor — a crucial character that was portrayed by veteran actor Annu Kapoor in the original — in the remake.

Dharala Prabhu also marks the Tamil debut of director Krishna Marimuthu, who directed the Naga Chaitanya-starrer Yuddham Sharanam, two years ago. The remake is produced by Screen Scene Media Entertainment, the company that distributed the Vishal-starrer Ayogya.

Vicky Donor, produced by John Abraham, is the story of a man who donates sperm for money and faces unexpected repercussions because of it.

Vivekh, meanwhile, will next be seen in Vijay's Thalapathy 63, directed by Atlee and co-starring Nayanthara.
