The video shows the behind-the-scenes of the film and offers a glimpse into Vikram’s character and how he gets ready for the character. Vikram looks unrecognisable as he underwent a major transformation for the role – from shedding his muscles to shaving the front portion of his head to get the look. 

 
'Thangalaan' features Parvathy Thiruvoth and Malavika Mohanan playing the female lead characters. Daniel Caltagirone, the Hollywood actor known for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, has been roped in to play an important role in the film. The others in the star-cast include Pasupathy, Hari Krishnan Anbudurai, Preethi Karan and Muthukumar. 

Set against the backdrops of Kolar Gold Field (KGF) , 'Thangalaan' is slated to release in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam, Odia, Marathi and Bengali languages. 

Touted as an action entertainer, 'Thangalaan' is produced by production house Studio Green - K.E. Gnanavel Raja in association with Pa. Ranjith's Neelam Productions at a whopping budget. 
 
The film is in the final stages of shooting. 

Vikram currently awaits the release of Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus, Ponniyin Selvan 2. He is seen playing the character of Aditha Karikalan (Chola emperor in 10th century). 

Vikram, who is popular for his role in Tamil cinema and also did a few Malayalam and Telugu films, has been part of movies such as 'Sethu', 'Samurai', 'Raavanan', 'Pithamagan' and many more.
