Trust Shankar, the director, to hit out at the system in an inimitable style. If in the past pointed out in his films loopholes in the education and political systems of the country, in Manoharudu ('I' in Tamil), he is learnt to be focusing on sports.

If sources are to be believed, his forthcoming film 'I', which has Vikram in the lead, is about an aspiring athlete who wants to make a mark in Olympics.
