If it is a Shankar film, you can be sure of surprises. And when Vikram is on board, the possibilities are double, so to speak. Precisely that’s what is happening in I. The David actor, it is said, is playing a double role in this film and one role will see him as an 85-year-old man.

“Vikram has been staying away from the public eye for the past few months to maintain secrecy about his looks in the movie. Foreign makeup artistes have been roped in to change his get-up,” sources said. Amy Jackson is playing the heroine of this flick, which is being simultaneously made in Telugu as Manoharudu. Music is by AR Rahman.
