Actor Chiyaan Vikram is a well-known figure in the Tamil film industry. His powerful performance in the 2005 release Anniyan made it a hit at the box office and a turning point in his career. In the film, he played the role of a multiple personality disorder victim. In 2021, actor Ranveer Singh was set to star in the Hindi remake of Anniyan, directed by Shankar.
In a conversation with DNA, Vikram recently spoke about Ranveer Singh’s potential portrayal of his iconic role. When asked if he would like to see the film being remade in Hindi with Ranveer, he said, “I think you should ask Shankar this, he should have made part two with me.” He later expressed his interest in seeing Ranveer’s take on the character. “I thought Ranveer would have made a nice Anniyan. I like him as a star. It would have been interesting to see what he would do with the story,” he added.
The Anniyan remake was announced earlier in April 2021. But Aascar Ravichandran, the producer of the original film, filed a complaint against Shankar in the South Indian Chamber of Commerce (SICC) and decided to take legal action against the director and producer Jayantilal Gada. The producer claimed that the film was being made without his consent.
While promoting Indian 2 in July this year, Shankar confirmed to the press that the remake has been shelved. “The initial plan was to make Anniyan in Hindi with Ranveer Singh, but we have changed our plans now. Our producers have asked us to make a film bigger than Anniyan, so talks are on. I will take a call on that after the release of Game Changer and Indian 3,” he said.
On the work front, Vikram last appeared in the film Thangalaan, directed by Pa Ranjith. The actor will be next seen in Veera Dheera Sooran: Part 2 and Dhruva Natchathiram: Chapter One – Yuddha Kaandam. On the other hand, Ranveer was last seen in the film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and will soon star in Singham Again and a multi-starrer with Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal.
