Just when fans thought they had Chiyaan Vikram’s calendar figured out, a fresh update has dropped — and it’s got Kollywood buzzing all over again.
While the actor is knee-deep in shooting for his tentatively titled Chiyaan63, word is out that his next project could be with Vishnu Edavan, the man making his directorial debut with the Nayanthara-Kavin starrer Hi. And honestly? The pairing sounds like a lot of fun.

What’s the Buzz About?
Speaking to Provoke TV, Vishnu Edavan practically confirmed the collaboration himself. He shared that Vikram loved the story he pitched and specifically asked for an action entertainer packed with fun and family elements — a genre blend Vikram hasn’t explored in a while. Edavan didn’t hold back on the compliments either, calling the veteran actor “a total vibe to be with.”
Before this though, Edavan has to wrap up Hi, a romantic drama about two tenants living in the same building, releasing August 28. It’s his first outing as director after cutting his teeth as an assistant on Kaithi, Master, and Vikram — all under ace filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, whose work you can explore further on Wikipedia.

Why This Collab Feels Exciting
Vikram’s career has always thrived on reinvention — gritty thrillers, mass entertainers, dark dramas. A lighthearted family-action outing with a fresh, Lokesh-trained voice like Edavan could be exactly the tonal shift his filmography needs next. Nothing’s officially locked yet, but if Edavan’s words are anything to go by, this project is only waiting for a green light.
