Recently we have reported that Vikram and Samantha will play the lead role in Shankar's next film. Apparently the film is titled as I (the Tamil alphabet I, which means beauty, king, guru, astonishment, vulnerability). Now the latest is that the pretty lass has opted out of the film due to date clash. It is said that in the film Vikram will have two looks there could be a gap between the shooting schedules.  Santhanam, Malayalam star Suresh Gopi and G. Ram Kumar (Sivaji Ganesan's elder son) will also play prominent role in this flick.

The film will have dialogues written by writers Suba (Suresh and Bala), P.C. Sriram as cinematographer and maestro AR Rahman as music director. Hollywood fame Mary Vogt  (of Men in Black fame) will be the costume designer while Anil Arasu amd Peter Ming will take care of stunts. Rising Sun Pictures (RSP) (of Harry Potter fame) is in charge of VFX. Recently Rahman recorded a song for the film written by Kapilan and sung by Vijay Prakash.

I is romantic thriller and is likely to go on floors on July 15, 2012.
