Riya Shibu, on behalf of HR Pictures, will produce the film. It will have music by National Award winner GV Prakash.

Shooting for Chiyaan 62, expected to be an explosive action entertainer, will start next year.

The production house recently released an announcement video where it shared a few scenes from the movie, in a bid to give fans an idea of what they could expect from the project.

The video shows Vikram playing an exceptionally strong character who thrashes the thugs inside a police station and cooly saunters out, without worrying about repercussions.
