Vikram’s 64th film, an action-packed thriller directed by Prem Kumar, is set to begin filming before his project with Madonne Ashwin. Prem Kumar postponed ’96 Part 2′ due to Vijay Sethupathi’s availability, focusing on ‘Chiyaan 64’ instead. Following ‘Thangalaan’ and ‘Veera Dheera Sooran’, Vikram aims for another box office hit with a planned January 2026 release.
