Actor Vikram, who was last seen in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 last year, had announced films like Prem Kumar, Madonne Ashwin, and debutant Bodi Rajkumar. However, no updates ever since then had been out. The latest being Chiyaan 63 announcement in which Vikram will work with Bodi Rajkumar.
It has been about four months since the announcement of Chiyaan 63. The Vikram-starrer has not received any updates, and fans of the star have been ruing about it. It is to be noted that even as Vikram had announced films with Madonne Ashwin and Prem Kumar, the projects did not go past the announcement. With uncertainty looming over Chiyaan 63 as well, fans were worried if they will get to see their star onscreen.

It is at this time, rumours spread that Chiyaan 63 is dropped. However, as per the clarification from Vikram’s team, Chiyaan 63 is very much on and progressing. The team also added to not believe in the rumours. An official update on the project is yet to be announced. But for now, fans can be relieved that Chiyaan 63 works are taking place on the sidelines.

Vikram had announced Chiyaan 63 with Madonne Ashwin first, but later the project went to the hands of debutant Bodi Rajkumar. It is to be noted that Vikram is working with a newbie director after 23 years. With not being an assistant to any filmmakers so far, Bodi Rajkumar has made three short films earlier, including Amen, which has won several awards at the festival circuit. However, the makers of Chiyaan 63 are yet to make any official announcement about the project, including its status update, cast and title.
