Tamil star Chiyaan Vikram was last seen in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus Ponniyin Selvan film series. The actor did complete justice to his role and won the hearts of the audience. He is all set to take up another role in the upcoming period drama Thangalaan. However, fans will have to wait for a bit longer to catch the movie in the theaters as the film has been reportedly delayed.

Vikram has taken the role of a tribal leader, Thangalaan, who fights against the British as they try to seize their land for gold mining. Pa Ranjit has directed the movie which was set to hit the theatres on January 26, 2024, in multiple languages.
