Even director Karthik Subbaraj is awaiting the release of his Dhanush starrer 'Jagame Thanthiram'.

Lalit Kumar, in an interview said, "Karthik had narrated the script to Vikram two months ago, and the actor really liked the script. All that I can say for now is that the film will be a gangster drama. We are looking at going on floors two months after the lockdown is lifted."

Chiyaan 60 is going to be a landmark project in the career of the father and son. While it marks the 60th film in Vikram’s career, for Dhruv, it will the first time to share screen space with his father.

Dhruv Vikram who debuted in kollywood last year through 'Adithya Varma', is the Tamil remake of Telugu blockbuster 'Arjun Reddy'. Chiyaan 60 will be second movie for the young actor.

Vikram has a slew of movies in the pipeline, including two mega budgets Maniratnam's epic drama 'Ponniyin Selvan' and mythological drama 'Mahavir Karna'. Other movies include spy-thriller 'Dhruva Natchathiram' and director R. Ajay Gnanamuthu’s 'Cobra', which is touted to be a supernatural thriller.
