Vikram's long pending Karikalan, produced by S.S. Vasan and S. Parthi of SilverLine Film Factory, is likely to restart from March. The film was kept in the cold storage for various reasons. The film will be now directed by Gandhi Krishnan. According to sources, the film will have the right mix of period and contemporary elements.It is said that the film will be made using Animatronics and Miniature Computer Graphics; some portions have been shot already at Thalakonam forests. N. Karthik (who has worked as a associate cinematographer in Yaradi Nee Mohini and Enthiran) will handle the camera and Mahesh will take care of editing. S.S. Murthy and Maya Pandi are the art directors for this fantasy flick.

More details are awaited.
