At the audio launch of Thangalaan, director Pa Ranjith spoke highly of Chiyaan Vikram and his dedication to the film. Ranjith said “During the shoot of the film, Vikram sir suffered an injury in his rib, but he still proceeded with the shoot. He was in huge pain but he did not want the shoot to stop.”
Ranjith said that he has explored the concept of magical realism in the film, and that it will be a new experience to the audience. Thangalaan is likely to have a lot of surprises, and the film will hit the screens on the 15th of August.
