CHENNAI: Chiyaan 61, which we had earlier reported to be titled Maidhaanam directed by Pa Ranjith, got off to an auspicious start with a grand puja ceremony in the city on Saturday.

The project, which has triggered huge expectations even before its start, is being produced by Studio Green’s Gnanavel Raja.

Tentatively referred to by the makers as #ProductionNumber22 or #Chiyaan61, indicating that this is Vikram’s 61st film.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the film will be a period drama set in the 1800s and that the film is bound to be shot on a massive scale. Rumours doing the rounds also suggest that the film is likely to be made in 3D as well. The storyline revolves around the famous ‘karlakattai’ technique used by the bodybuilders in the pre-independent era.

While the film was initially scheduled to be shot across India, the makers have now decided to erect huge sets in Chennai keeping in mind Vikram’s health.

The film will have music by GV Prakash Kumar and cinematography by Kishore Kumar. Editing for the film will be by Selva and art direction will be by Moorthy.

Stunts for the film will be choreographed by National Award-winning stunt masters Anbariv and dance choreography will be by Sandy.
