Vishnu Edavan to direct Vikram in an action entertainer
Filmmaker Vishnu Edavan, whose debut film Hi starring Nayanthara releases on August 28, has revealed he is in talks to direct actor Chiyaan Vikram in his next project. Speaking to a YouTube channel during Hi's promotions, Edavan said Vikram loved his story and is waiting for a final nod. He described the film as an action entertainer with a 'vibe' that will be full of theatrical moments.
Vishnu Edavan, a former assistant to Lokesh Kanagaraj, has written lyrics and is now directing Hi under Rowdy Pictures and Seven Screen Studio. Vikram was last seen in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part, 2 and is reuniting with director Anand Shankar for his 63rd film. Edavan said he will focus on this new project after Hi's release.

The story is a straightforward pre-production update with no official confirmation from Vikram's camp. Readers should note that this is a tentative project contingent on Hi's release and Vikram's schedule. The key number to watch is the August 28 release date of Hi, after which formal announcements may come.
