Vikram's 'Irumugan' targeting July release

The makers of Chiyaan Vikram-starrer Tamil thriller "Irumugan", which features the star in a double role, are planning to release the film this July, provided everything goes as planned.

"The plan is to release towards the end of July. Everything has been going on as planned so far and if it continues in the same fashion, there should be no delay in the release," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Also starring Nayanthara and Nithya Menen, the film is nearly 60 percent complete.

"After wrapping up the next schedule in the city, the team will head to Ladakh, followed by Bangkok," he said, adding that predominant portion of the film has already been shot in Malaysia.

On Sunday, the film's first teaser was unveiled, on the account of Vikram's 50th birthday.

It is rumoured that Vikram will be seen as a transgender in his second role in the film, which is produced by Thameens Films.
