Actor Arun Vijay, who won a lot of acclaim for his antagonist role in the Ajith's Yennai Arindhal, is in the headlines again. The actor will be foraying into the Kannada film industry with Chakravyuha,  an action-packed one. "I've been following the Sandalwood industry for a long time, but I was waiting for the right role and production team to make my debut here. I did get offers before from other regions, but this was a role in which I could prove my versatility,” said Arun Vijay.
 
The film, starring Puneeth Rajkumar and Rachita Ram, and directed by M Saravanan, is loosely based on the 2013 Tamil film Ivan Veramathiri and will have Arun play the antagonist. Arun Vijay feels that Sandalwood is no less than any industry. "Kannada films are arriving positively competing with other regional languages very strongly I would say , and Chakravyuha will stand testimonial to this factor. There was no barriers and  budget constraints. It was a quality film by any standard,” he added.
