Director Shankar’s magnum opus Ai is getting ready to release soon. Audio is likely to release by August and movie by September. Most of the details of Ai were kept under wraps, but now things are emerging.

Ai is not a sports movie, as made out earlier. Vikram will appear in different physical transformations with his body weight ranging from 40 to 110 Kg. Vikram has several get-ups too.

Music director AR Rahman has composed five songs including one sung by Anirudh. Songs are shot in China, Chennai, Kodai and Pollachi. WETA from New Zealand has done the special make-up for Vikram.

An action sequence that was shot in China will be a major highlight of the movie. The climax fight sequence was shot in Orissa for 25 days. Everything associated with Ai has been done on a grand scale and the movie will be a visual extravaganza when it releases for the audience later this year.
