Veteran actor Raj Kiran, who shared screen space with Karthi in Komban, will also be seen in Viruman. Prakash Raj and Soori are also a part of the film. Set in a rural backdrop, Viruman will be a family film. 

The film, which will be produced by Suriya and Jyotika, will also see Muthaiah and Yuvan Shankar Raja coming together for the first time. 

Karthi, who was recently seen in the Tamil action film Sulthan, is currently busy shooting for PS Mithran’s Sardaar. He also has Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan in the pipeline.
