Vikram's film, Thaandavam to be directed by Vijay already has two glam heroines - Anushka and Amy Jackson.

The latest addition to the cast of 'Thaandavam' is none another than Kollywood's sexy bombshell Lakshmi Rai, who rocked in Mankatha and Kanchana with her femme fatale routine. She has reportedly joined the Thaandavam team in London.

The music composed by G.V Prakash is expected to release over the summer and expectations are skyhigh for this film as Vikram and Vijay have already had a successful outing with Deiva Thirumagal.

The film is likely to be released in August or September. 

Thaandavam, Vikram's next film directed by A.L Vijay with Anushka and Amy Jackson, has been progressing in and around Delhi and Chennai. Having finished almost 50% of the shooting, cast and crew of the film are expected to shoot the rest of the film in the UK. 

Although it was scheduled to be shot in the US, delay in obtaining visa for the entire cast and crew made the producers opt for UK, stated a press release by UTV Motion Pictures.

While the director Vijay and cinematographer Nirav Shah have already left for the UK, rest of the team will fly in the next week. 

Shooting will go on till mid-June and the movie is expected to hit the screens in August / September 2012.

Vikram's film, Thaandavam directed by Vijay and with Anushka and Amy Jackson as the heroines was supposed to release in July but it has been delayed and the release date will have to be postponed.

According to those in the know, the film is likely to be released in September instead.

Fans of both Vikram and Anushka will be disappointed with this. However, the audio launch will be held in July. The music for Thaandavam has been composed by GV Prakash Kumar.

The young composer who has already worked with Vikram and Vijay in Deiva Thirumagal has been acknowledged as a bright new talent and he will be hoping to deliver again with this album.

The Deiva Thirumagal team led by director A.L Vijay is presently busy with their next project, Thandavam.

The buzz is that Vikram, who is the film’s protagonist, will be playing the role of an undercover officer. The last time he did a cop’s role was in the super hit film Saamy. 

The film stars Anushka and Amy Jackson as the lead ladies with Jagapati Babu, Santhanam, Nasser and Saranya in supporting roles. 

Nirav Shah handles the camera and Anthony edits the film. G.V Prakash, who has been working with A.L Vijay since his Kireedam, is composing music for this film too.

The shooting of A.L Vijay's Thandavam starring Chiyam Vikram and Anushka is currently carried out with a few flashback scenes and songs being shot in and around Delhi.

Recently, the song 'Oru Paadhi Kanavu Neeyadi' was shot with Vikram romancing Anushka Shetty. It is worth mentioning her that these actors are reuniting with UTV motion pictures and Director A.L Vijay following the success of Deiva Thirumagal.

The crew of the film along with Amy Jackson of Madarasapattinam fame will fly to US to shoot for other portions of the film once the schedule at Delhi is wrapped.

Having no formal training in acting is an advantage, says Amy Jackson.

Amy Jackson, the UK-based actress who made her debut in AL Vijay’s Madarasapattinam is one of most sought after stars in the Indian cinema today.

Amy's first Bollywood film, Ek Deewana Tha, directed by Gautham Menon is all set for a release soon and she now has the Vikram starrer Thandavam in her kitty.
