Aascar Ravichandran lauds Vikram’s commitment for Ai

Aascar Ravichandran has surprised everyone in the industry with an impromptu announcement about the release date of Ai. The film which has been under development for the past two years is slated for release this Diwali. Ravichandran has lauded the unflinching commitment of Vikram in the film. “Vikram is the embodiment of commitment. I haven’t seen an actor who has spent over two years on a project. Vikram is an exception when it comes to his dedication towards a film. Never did he complain about the time invested in the project,” says Ravichandran to IANS.

Directed by Shankar, the film has Vikram and Amy Jackson in lead roles and music by AR Rahman. “For one particular look in the film, Vikram was required to spend 12 hours in the makeup room for many days. He sports three different looks in the film and for one of which he had to weigh about 120 kg and considerably reduce by half for the other”, added Ravichandran. The audio launch of the film is likely to held on September 15th in Chennai. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan are expected to grace the Tamil and Telugu audio launches respectively. The makers are planning to release the film in 3000 screens worldwide.
