Shankar and Vikram weaved a magic on screen with Aparichithudu more than five years back. It was a bigger hit in Telugu than in Tamil (Anniyan). Now the latest buzz is that the big budget director and the versatile actor might join forces again, for a fresh project soon.

"Both Vikram and Shankar always wanted to work together again. Now that Shankar's Nanban (Snehithudu) has hit the screens and Vikram is expected to complete his commitments by September, they are likely to join hands after that," sources say.

Vikram is currently shooting for 'Thaandavam' with director Vijay and 'Karikalan' helmed by L I Kannan. "Shooting for both the movies are on in full swing and they would get over one after one", sources in the know say. Vikram also has 'David' up North.

Meanwhile, Shankar is happy with the feedback evoked by 'Nanban' which hit the screens on Thursday. The Vijay-Jiiva-Srikanth starrer film witnessed grand opening and is showing all signs to be declared as the first hit of the year.
