96 director Prem Kumar to direct Vikram’s next?
The Tamil film fraternity is abuzz with exciting news as multiple reports suggest that C. Prem Kumar, the critically acclaimed director behind 96 and the recent Meiyazhagan, is poised to direct Vikram in his upcoming film.
While official confirmation is eagerly awaited, industry insiders indicate that the collaboration is highly probable and could mark a significant turning point for both artists.
The film is expected to be produced under the banner of Vels Film International, led by Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh. Vels Film International has recently unveiled an ambitious slate of ten films for 2025-2027, and C. Prem Kumar is explicitly named among the esteemed directors they are collaborating with, further strengthening the likelihood of this project.
Vikram is currently occupied with his 63rd film, directed by Madonne Ashwin and is also awaiting the long-delayed release of Gautham Vasudev Menon’s Dhruva Natchathiram.
