Fahadh Faasil coming on board Vikram has only bolstered the value for the film as the National Award-winning actor enjoys a huge fan following among Tamil cinema lovers considering his performances in Tamil films like Sivakarthikeyan's Velaikkaran and Vijay Sethupathi's Super Deluxe continue to be remembered. Tamil cinema fans have also over the years watched Fahadh's Malayalam films with a lot of passion and expressed their love for his performances in Bangalore Days, Maheshinte Prathikaaram, Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum, Kumbalangi Nights, Trance, Joji and most recently, Malik.
As known already, only the male star cast has so far been revealed for Vikram and it remains to be seen who will land the role of the female lead in the film, which is speculated to be an intense action thriller. The hype for the film are sky-high considering Lokesh Kanagaraj is directing his film idol Kamal Haasan, with many expecting him to once again deliver the goods as he has done with his previous films namely Maanagaram, Kaithi with Karthi and 'Thalapathy' Vijay's blockbuster Master. Vikram's technical crew includes Anirudh Ravichander for the music, Meyaadha Maan and Aadai director Rathna Kumar for the dialogues, cinematographer Girish Gangadharan, and the National Award-winning stunt choreographer duo Anbariv for the action.
