Wearing khaki in front of the camera is like a cakewalk for Arjun. The 'Action King' is at it again, but this time in a role inspired by a real life personality. The actor is doing a character inspired by top police officer Vijayakumar, in 'Vana Yudhdham', a biopic on forest brigand Veerappan.

Says the film's director AMR Ramesh, "Arjun has justified the role. He did a lot of homework for Vana Yudhdham since it is no easy thing to reflect a real life personality on screen. The Action King will live up to its sobriquet in the movie, which has Kishore playing Veerappan."

On picking Kishore for the lead role, he says, "I doubt whether anyone other than Kishore would fit so well into Veerappan's shoes. The actor has given life to the role. You can see the stills of the film to confirm yourself if you are not ready to believe my words."

Vijayalakshmi of 'Chennai 600028' and 'Anjathey' fame is playing Veerappan's wife, while Lakshmi Rai is expected to play an important role. "Without taking any sides, I have tried to present the story of Veerappan in a neutral manner. A lot of research has been done," the director adds.
