Vikram’s Karikalan director replaced

The director of Vikram’s troubled Karikalan is reportedly being replaced mid-way

Karikalan’s woes appear to continue. The newest buzz is that the film’s director, Kannan, have been allegedly asked to depart and the makers are asking A R Gandhikrishna, who’s originally said to have written the script, to helm the movie.A source reveals, “Though the Vikram-starrer was announced greater than a year ago, just 25 per cent of the film is completed. The makers aren’t more than pleased with the way in which the scenes have turned out and need to re-shoot the whole thing with a brand new filmmaker. After they were discussing names, one of the most first choices was Gandhikrishna, as he’s written the script.”

When we contacted Gandhikrishna, he said, “It’s true that the producers have approached me recently to shoot this film and we’re understanding the modalities currently. If everything falls in place and Vikram sir’s dates will also be worked out, I'LL BE all for taking it up.”

However, the present director, Kannan had a unique story to inform. He said, “All is easily with the project. We've completed 25 per cent of it and I’ll be shooting the remainder of it once Vikram gets done along with his current assignments.” Karikalan revolves across the man who built probably the most first dams within the country. It's said that the period flick is heavy on special effects because it is hard to truly re-create the era that Karikalan lived in.

Producer clarifiesWhen contacted, S S Vasan, some of the film’s producers, clarified that director Kannan will certainly be within the film. However, the change that they’re planning is replacing cinematographer Karthik with Rathnavelu aka Randy. He added that there'll be a couple of changes within the technical side as well.
