Vijay Antony will be seen in an all-new avatar in
Agni Siragugal
, which is being directed by
Naveen. According to the director, the musician-turned-actor has two looks in the film, the shooting of which took place in locations like Chennai, Kolkata, Russia, Almaty, and a few other European countries.
In the racy thriller, Vijay Antony plays Seenu, and the role requires him to pull off both action and emotion, says the director. Naveen adds, “There is a reason why Vijay sir’s character has been named Seenu. His role is completely in contrast with what he has essayed so far. He will be sporting a suave and cosmopolitan look. We are currently waiting for it to start snowing in Kazakhstan to shoot a few sequences; it should happen sometime in December-January.”
Natarajan Sankaran is composing music for the project, which has KA Batcha cranking the camera. Viktor Ivanov, who’s worked as the stunt coordinator of films like The Bourne series, a popular nomad stunt team from Kazakhstan, and Mahesh have choreographed the action scenes. The film also stars Arun Vijay, Akshara Haasan, Prakash Raj, Raima Sen and JSK Sathish Kumar, among others, in integral roles. Since Akshara has replaced Shalini Pandey in the film, she is reshooting portions that were earlier canned with the latter.
