Lokesh Kanagaraj confirms Suriya's cameo in Kamal Haasan's Vikram

Actor Suriya’s fans couldn’t contain their excitement when rumours recently emerged that he would be seen in a key role in Kamal Haasan’s Vikram (2022).

The reports made the headlines after a video of Suriya and Kamal Haasan meeting on a film set last week went viral.

On Sunday, director Lokesh Kanagaraj confirmed that Vikram does feature Suriya in a powerful cameo. Without revealing anything about Suriya’s character, Lokesh said he wanted the casting to be a surprise for audiences, but since the news got leaked, he went ahead and announced it.

At the event, Kamal Haasan thanked Suriya for graciously accepting the offer despite being asked to join the shoot at the last minute.

Vikram marks the maiden collaboration of Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil. Tipped to be a high-octane action thriller, the film also stars Kalidas Jayaram, Antony Varghese and Arjun Das.

The trailer for the film was released on Sunday evening and while it hardly gives away the plot, what it does offer is a glimpse of the film’s grand scale of action. It is packed with guns, explosions and gangsters.
