Chiyaan Vikram’s next film, tentatively titled Chiyaan63, recently went on floors, and the project has already generated strong curiosity among fans. The upcoming action film marks Vikram’s reunion with
director Anand Shankar, who previously directed him in Iru Mugan. Now, fresh reports suggest that the actor may have agreed to a remuneration of Rs 20 crore for the film.
However, there has been no official confirmation from the makers or the actor regarding the reported fee.
Is Chiyaan Vikram Charging Rs 20 Crore For Chiyaan63?
According to industry tracker Mukil Vardhanan, Chiyaan Vikram has reportedly agreed to a salary of Rs 20 crore for Chiyaan63. The report further claims that this amount is lower than the actor’s remuneration for some of his previous films.
As per the report, Vikram has decided to reduce his upfront fee keeping current market trends in mind. In addition to the reported remuneration, the actor is also expected to receive a pre-agreed share of the film’s profits. For now, these details remain unconfirmed, and an official word from the team is awaited.
The reported salary has caught attention because Vikram continues to be one of Tamil cinema’s most respected stars, known for his intense physical transformations and commitment to performance-led roles. If the report turns out to be true, Chiyaan63 may reflect a changing trend where leading actors balance upfront pay with profit-sharing arrangements.
Chiyaan63 First Glimpse Creates Buzz
Chiyaan63 was recently announced with a short glimpse titled First Flame. The video featured a dramatic, smoke-filled setup, with Vikram’s character making a powerful entrance. The glimpse was backed by an energetic track composed by Santhosh Narayanan, setting the tone for what appears to be a large-scale action entertainer.
The teaser indicated that the film was ready to begin production and hinted at a massy, high-energy world built around Vikram’s screen presence. Given his history of physically demanding and intense characters, fans are already expecting another transformation-heavy role from the actor.
The film is being directed by Anand Shankar, best known for Iru Mugan. His reunion with Vikram has added to the anticipation, especially since their previous collaboration had explored action, suspense and stylised drama.
Riya Shibu, MS Bhaskar And Urvashi Join Cast
The upcoming film is set to feature Riya Shibu, known for Sarvam Maya, as the female lead. Veteran actors MS Bhaskar and Urvashi are also playing key roles in the project.
While the makers have not yet locked an official release date, reports suggest that Chiyaan63 may arrive in theatres either by the end of 2026 or in early 2027. More details about the film’s plot, supporting cast and production schedule are expected to be announced in the coming months.
What Happened To Vikram’s Other Reported Projects?
Before Chiyaan63, Vikram had announced a project with debutant director Bodi Rajkumar. The update was shared by production house Shanti Talkies, and the film was expected to be an action thriller. However, there have been no major updates about the project since then.
There were also earlier reports that Vikram might collaborate with director Madonne Ashwin. But according to recent buzz, the project now appears to have been shelved.
With Chiyaan63 now moving ahead, the Anand Shankar directorial seems to be Vikram’s next major focus.
Chiyaan Vikram’s Work Front
Chiyaan Vikram was last seen in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2, directed by SU Arun Kumar. The action thriller also starred Dushara Vijayan, SJ Suryah and Suraj Venjaramoodu in key roles.
The film followed the story of a former mobster who now lives a quiet life as a provision store owner. However, when an upright officer threatens to eliminate his former boss’s son, Kaali is forced back into the world of violence. What follows is a tense conflict that unfolds over a single night, as he tries to protect his family while confronting his past.
Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
With Chiyaan63 now on floors, Vikram appears to be moving into another action-heavy phase of his career. The reported remuneration, Anand Shankar’s return as director, Santhosh Narayanan’s music and the promising First Flame glimpse have all added to the early buzz around the film.
