Just a few months back, it was revealed that acclaimed actor Vijay Sethupathi will be sharing screen space alongside the talented performer Sundeep Kishan in what was being touted as a Pan-India film titled ‘Michael’. At the same time, the film’s first look poster was also unveiled.
And now, in yet another exciting development, eminent filmmaker and actor Gautham Vasudev Menon has been roped by the makers to feature in the film as the antagonist.
Written and directed by Ranjit Jeyakodi, ‘Michael’ will feature Sundeep Kishan in the titular role. The film’s precise plotline, remaining cast members, and details about what role Gautham Menon would be playing in ‘Michael’ are currently not known.
