Vikram is sporting a fresh, new look in 'Thaandavam', his forthcoming film, being helmed by Vijay. "Within few weeks I told him to reduce some kilos, he shed weight and stood in front of me in a stunning way," says the director.

"It was when we shooting for Deiva Thirumagal, Vikram and I decided to work together again. Within few weeks, we firmed up on Thaandavam and that's how the project happened," says the 'Madrasapattinam' director, giving more details.

Stating that Vikram is playing a stylish young man in 'Thaandavam', Vijay adds: "Anushka and Amy Jackson are the two leading ladies. The story is about a man who teaches a lesson or two to those who cheated him and the society."

Produced by UTV Motion Pictures, 'Thaandavam' is taking shape fast. Plans are on to complete the shooting by next month and to release the movie for summer. G V Prakash Kumar is taking care of the music department, quite like other films of Vijay.
