The Kollywood industry buzzes with excitement following the official announcement of ‘Chiyaan 63’, the highly-anticipated next venture of leading star, Chiyaan Vikram. Production house Shanthi Talkies, which has garnered recent success with films like Maaveeran and 3BHK, made the announcement on October 30, 2025, introducing the team behind their third project.
The film marks Shanthi Talkies’ first-ever collaboration with the veteran actor. The production house confirmed the news via social media, with a poster reveal that instantly sparked significant engagement, as captured in the shared posts by the producer and the banner itself. Producer Arun Viswa took to a popular social media platform to express his “Super thrilled” excitement to work with a debutant, adding, “Bodi Rajkumar will be a unique and refreshing voice!“.
Vikram Backs a New Talent
Adding a significant layer of intrigue to the project is the choice of director: Bodi K. Rajkumar. This high-stakes drama will serve as Rajkumar’s directorial debut in feature films, a move that underscores Vikram’s established reputation for encouraging new talent. Rajkumar is already known in short film circles for his work on the critically noted short film, Amen. The film is produced by Arun Viswa for Shanthi Talkies.
The official poster unveiled features Vikram in a brooding, powerful pose, with the film’s title illuminated strikingly by a car’s headlights in a dark, red-hued, gritty setting. The poster also identifies Vikram’s character as Sethu, hinting at a complex and intense narrative. Sources close to the production noted Vikram’s immense enthusiasm for the script’s “emotional depth,” a crucial factor given his recent, performance-driven successes in Ponniyin Selvan and the upcoming Thangalaan.
A High-Stakes Drama from a Successful Banner
‘Chiyaan 63’ is described as a high-stakes emotional drama, promising a compelling cinematic experience for Vikram’s fans. The collaboration with Shanthi Talkies, a banner that has consistently delivered hits, ensures the film is being watched closely by trade analysts. The announcement has already resulted in a massive surge in social media activity, with fans and industry peers praising the bold pairing of a star of Vikram’s caliber with a first-time director. This move solidifies ‘Chiyaan 63’ as one of the most anticipated announcements of the year.
