Actor-producer Riya Shibu, who recently earned fame for her performance in Nivin Pauly's Sarvam Maya, directed by Akhil Sathyan and is awaiting the release of Athiradi, is reportedly set for her Tamil debut with Vikram's Chiyaan 63. Speculations are rife that she will play a key role in the Anand Shankar-directorial.
An official confirmation is awaited regarding the same. There are also rumours about veterans Urvashi and MS Bhaskar playing prominent roles. But the makers have not revealed any details yet. If true, MS Bhaskar will be reuniting with Vikram after Deiva Thirumagal (2011) and Thaandavam (2012). Interestingly, Riya Shibu backed Vikram's hit Veera Dheera Sooran – Part 2 (2025) under HR Pictures.
With Chiyaan 63, Vikram and Anand Shankar are reuniting after 10 years folllowing the action thriller Iru Mugan (2016). The announcement for the film, which was revealed last month, came with a short promotional video. It revealed that Vikram will be playing a chef, who is being targeted by a gang. A conversation which takes place in a voiceover, reveals that he is too is a gangster. Anand Shankar has written the film, which has dialogues by Shan Karuppusamy.
Santhosh Narayanan is composing for a film starring Vikram, after Karthik Subbaraj's Mahaan (2022). The crew of the film includes director of photography RD Rajasekar ISC, editor Raymond Derrick Crasta, production designer Rajeevan, and art director Surya Rajeevan.
TG Thyagarajan is producing the films under the Sathya Jyothi Films banner. Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan are also producing, with G Saravanan and Sai Siddharth serving as co-producers.
