Producer Dhananjayan claims the film's story can be appreciated by audiences everywhere, so the studio is eager to see where it goes.

 Kishor Kumar and Selva RK are responsible for the cinematography and editing, respectively, with SS Murthi as the art director.

The film is set in the 1970s and depicts the harsh conditions under which the miners worked and the exploitation they faced at the hands of the British. 

The video reveals how Chiyaan Vikram endured hours of makeup, prosthetics and costumes to get into the character.

The exciting news was shared on social media by the film's makers alongside a brand new poster depicting Vikram in a gritty, rural look.

The film, which is set in the backdrop of the Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) from 1870 to 1900, has wrapped up its major schedule in the KGF sets.

In other words these upcoming biggies will go down for a memorable ride in this year.

The story was reportedly told to Vikram by filmmaker Ranjith in 2014, but production on the film reportedly didn't begin until July 15 of this year.
