At least two cities of Chola dynasty are being recreated for 'Karikalan', Vikram's
next, which is directed by special effects expert LI Kannan. "The port
city of Kaveripoompattinam and the business hub Uraiyur are carefully
being recreated," informs the director.
"With the help of experts, books and technology, we
are planning to take the audience to the era of Karikala Cholan, which
dates back to more than 2000 years. Karikalan is like Alexander. He was
brave, charming and very interesting," says Kannan, who is excited about
the project.
"I am lucky to have
Parthi and Vasan as my producers.
They don't mind shelling out money as all they expect is a quality
product. And I must thank Vikram, for none other than him could bring
Karikala Cholan alive on screen. He is simply superb," the director
says.
"The film will set new standards in Kollywood as far
as special effects are concerned. With my experience working in various
movies, including Enthiran, I have been giving nothing but my best for
Karikalan. Get ready for a time machine journey soon," he concludes.
