Sources said Vikram signed the project for a record amount, making him one of the highest paid actors in Indian cinema. Shooting for this film is likely to start by the end of October, after Vikram completes his portions in ace Mani Ratnam's ongoing bilingual Raavana/ Ashokavanam by October 22. The film will be shot in Ladakh, Mumbai and Goa and most likely have Subramaniapuram Swathi as the heroine. More details are awaited.
Meanwhile, being simultaneously made in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, Raavana is said to be a modern adaptation of the epic Ramayana. Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai are the lead pair in Hindi, while Vikram will play the lead opposite Aishwarya in Tamil. Raavana is produced by Mani Ratnam's sister Sharda under Ratnam's banner Madras Talkies.
