Katrina Kaif to star opposite Vikram in Karikalan

Even as actor Vikram has been getting appreciation and accolades (thanks to the trailer) for his awesome performance in his upcoming film ‘Deiva Thirumagan’ directed by Vijay, the actor-par-excelence has already moved on to the planning stages to prepare himself for his next film, it is said. ‘Deiva Thirumagan’ has Anushka and Amala Paul as Vikram’s co-stars.

Vikram’s next flick is likely to be directed by Suseenthiran, who has had successive hits in ‘Vennila Kabadikuzhu’ and ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’. Meanwhile, Vikram has decided to first star in debutant director Kannan’s film which might see him pairing opposite Katrina Kaif, the stunning-looking ‘No.1’ actress in Bollywood. The film is likely to be produced by Silverline Film Factory, which earlier produced Jiiva’s ‘Singam Puli’.

Vikram is likely to ‘relax’ his policy of not starring in debutant directors’ films after he felt impressed by Kannan’s script. Kannan has reportedly met Katrina and has taken her consent prior to his meeting with Vikram to narrate the script.

Though Vikram hasn’t signed along dotted lines, it is said that he would first finish Kannan’s film before commencing work on Suseendhiran’s film. The film, which was titled ‘Tirumavalavan’ (?!), was later changed to ‘Karikalan’ after Vikram objected to the ‘controversial’ title.
