Can veteran family film specialist director Vikraman and Vijaykanth revive the Vanathepole magic?

The old combo is coming together once again in an all new family saga to be produced by ‘Amman Creations’ Shiva. Vikraman has also signed up Meera Jasmine to be Captain’s heroine. It seems Vikraman’s narration of the story impressed Meera who has a meaty role in it.

Vijaykanth who is now doing “Engal Asan”, is planning to start his Vikraman film some time in August. The V&V combination- Vijaykanth and Vikraman’s “Vanathepole” was one of the biggest blockbusters in the annals of Tamil films.

The film had a rural milieu and was a steamy, feel-good tearjerker on family relationships, which worked big in B & C.

The buzz is that Vijaykanth wanted to do “another village milieu film on the goodness of the joint family system” to strengthen his rural vote bank.

Remember that next year, the parliament elections are due.
