Directed by A.L Vijay, the film is releasing in about 900 screens worldwide on September 28.

"One part of the character played by Vikram is inspired from real life, but not the entire plot. The story of the film was developed and for the blind character's behaviour, Daniel became the inspiration," Dhananjayan of UTV Motion Pictures told us.

Vikram underwent special sessions with Daniel Kish while preparing for his role. Human echolocation is a technique of detecting objects, their position and sound by sensing echoes.

In the film, Vikram plays a RAW officer who turns blind. Telugu actor Jagapathi Babu has been roped in to play the villain, while Anushka Shetty, Amy Jackson and Lakshmi Rai will be seen in key roles.

This is music composer G.V. Prakash's 25th project.

The dubbed Telugu version titled 'Shiva Thaandavam' will release simultaneously with the Tamil film.
