After a much wait, the release date of 'Inkokkadu' has been confirmed. It's hitting the screens on Sept 8. Starring Vikram in dual roles, the thriller also stars Nayanathara and Nithya Menen. It's directed by Anand Shankar.

Producer Neelam Krishna Reddy has sold the distribution rights of the Vikram-starrer to Abhishek Nama of Abhishek Pictures.

"Our objective has always been to bring quality cinema to the audience. The producer Shibu Tameens and director Anand Shankar have made Inkokkadu on high technical values. Music director Harris Jayaraj, cinematographer RD Rajashekar and editor Bhuvan Srinivasan are the names. That says it all," the producer says. Reddy had shelled out a fancy price to lay his hands on the rights of this ambitious venture. The rights price was pegged at more than Rs. 11 cr, something unheard of for a Vikram film.

Expect Vikram to smash it. He is seen in two roles. One is of a RAW agent, complete with a bearded look. The other one is of a villain by name Love, who is a havoc-creator wreaking a catastrophe with his scientific knowledge. While Vikram looks intense in the former, in the latter, he is quirkiness and eccentricity personified. Watch out for his subtle expression and body movies, complete with that of an old nurse.

Nithya Menen plays Vikram's associate (RAW officer on undercover task) and Nayanthara is his love interest. Together with Vikram, Nithya investigates the attack on Indian embassy in Malaysia, where the film is set. Nasser has an important roles.

The film will most probably lock horns with 'Jyo Achyutananda'.
