Rock line Venkatesh’s next film is with Vikram. It is a remake of the Malayalam film, Thammanum Makkalum. Vikram has a solid record of doing well in remakes. His earlier film Kasi, in which he played the endearing blind singer, was a remake of another Malayalam film called Laxmiyum, Vasanthiyum pinne naanum. Vikram is always open to a good story and would work with any director in any language provided the role challenges him. No wonder many directors make a beeline to him.
