Be it RRR or a Bollywood action thriller like Hrithik & Tiger¡¯s WAR, we have seen many mass entertainers being led by two superstars. Looks like regional cinema is taking the casting of this action-thriller to another level by featuring three superstars in major roles.?
?Superstar Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi, and Fahadh Fassil are going to come together in the upcoming movie Vikram, which will be directed by Lokesh Kangaraj. Lokesh has proved his worth with movies like Kaithi and Master. Recently, the trailer of the film got released and the film is scheduled to release on June 3, 2022, let¡¯s have a quick breakdown of the things that we can expect from this mass entertainer.
Kamal Haasan is coming back on screens after a pause of 3 years. Not many details are revealed about the characterization of Kamal but it¡¯s likely that he is going to play the role of a fearless common man fighting the injustices of the system in his own way. Interestingly, back in 1986, Kamal Haasan did a movie with the same name and he was playing the role of a cop who needs to retrieve a missile even if his wife died recently. It would be interesting to see how this Vikram would be different from the old one.
Lokesh Kanagraj has become a known name in the regional within a very short span of time. He has directed only three films excluding Vikram and each one of them has been able to create havoc at the box office or at the OTT with its unique storytelling experience and the authentic emotional touch. He even got the award for Best Debut Director at the Vijaya Awards for his first film Maanagram and he has been creating magic with his movies ever since the release of Maanagram. It would be interesting to see how he plans to give a new life to his career as Kamal after Indian 2 failing to create the expected magic.
This is not the first time, these two talented actors are coming together, they were also part of a Netflix anthology film called Super Deluxe. As per the trailer, Fahadh plays the role of a corrupt cop whereas Vijay supposedly plays the role of a local goon. Both Fahadh and Vijay play characters that are ready to go beyond the rules and regulations to get what they want. Interestingly, Fahadh recently played the role of a cop in Pushpa and was very well praised for his honest but strong cop portrayal, it would be interesting to see how he carries out this role when the coins are completely switched. Coming to Vijay, he played the role of an antagonist in Lokesh¡¯s recent Master and has carried out many roles of goons and villains so for him, this is going to be a cakewalk.
Vikram not only has a combination of amazing actors, it also has a coming together of Lokesh¡¯s direction and Anbu-Arivu ¡®s stunt choreography. Anbu-Arivu are known names in regional and Bollywood cinema for directing some insane action sequences. They recently coordinated the stunts of K.G.F Chapter 2 which now went on to become the second largest grossing film of all time for India. Given the superb track record of Anbu-Arivu, it won¡¯t be wrong to expect some really engaging action sequences from Vikram.
Do you know what¡¯s common in some amazing films like Doctor, Master, and Jersey? All of them have the background score by Anirudh Ravichander. This thirty-two-year-old maestro has been helming the music of some great projects and has become a reliable music director in a very short span of time. It would be interesting to see what he has on his sleeves for Kamal¡¯s comeback film.
Previous year, Jalikattu was considered for the race of Oscars. When it comes to being visually appealing, Jalikattu has stepped up a bar so high that even the new Rajamouli film is far from it. Instead of working on the visual design, the film was engineered with brilliant camerawork and Giriraj Gangadharan was the man behind the camera for Jalikattu. He is coming back again this time with Lokesh to helm the cinematography department of Vikram. The trailer alone has been able to create such a great buzz about the detailing of the film that everyone is excited to know what the film holds when it comes to its visual aspects of it.
Vikram will release on June 3 on Disney+Hotstar.
