Vikram’s Chiyaan 63 adds Riya Shibu to cast
Riya Shibu has been officially added to the cast of Vikram’s Chiyaan 63 as the female lead. The announcement came from the makers.
The Anand Shankar directorial will mark her Tamil acting debut. Interestingly, Riya Shibu backed Vikram’s hit Veera Dheera Sooran – Part 2 (2025) under HR Pictures.
Vikram and Anand Shankar’s first collaboration was Iru Mugan ten years ago. When the film was announced last month, a promo video introduced Vikram as a chef targeted by a gang.
A conversation which takes place in a voiceover reveals that he is also a gangster. Anand Shankar has written the film, which has dialogues by Shan Karuppusamy.
Chiyaan 63 will feature music composed by Santhosh Narayanan, who last worked on a Vikram film in 2022, with Karthik Subbaraj’s Mahaan.
The crew of the film includes director of photography RD Rajasekar ISC, editor Raymond Derrick Crasta, production designer Rajeevan, and art director Surya Rajeevan.
