After ‘Pachai Kudhirai’, Parthiban is back as what he is best: direction! The project that he will embark on soon, has been titled ‘Viththagan’ and will be produced by Manickam Narayanan, Seventh Channel.

“The film will be of a different genre, as an action film,” says the director, who will also play the lead in the film. The heroine character has been finally finalized, with Poorna, the ‘Muniyaandi Vilangiyal Moondramaandu’ heroine, bagging it.

Joshua Sridhar will compose the music for this film, for which MS Prabhu will crank the camera.

The actor has most recently completed shooting for ‘Aayirathil Oruvan’ in which he plays a king. With that film ready for release in a few months, pre production work is on full swing for ‘Viththagan’.
