Vikram's much-anticipated super hero film Mallana (Kanthaswamy in Tamil), which was slated for May 29 release, has been postponed to June 12 as the post production work, including graphics and animation, is taking longer than expected, sources said. The audio launch has also been rescheduled to May 10. Post-production work is going on at breakneck speed and the visual effects are expected to take some more time. Produced by Kalaipuli S. Thanu and directed by Susi Ganesan, Mallana was filmed in five countries and is a superman-like story with a logical twist. Fantasy and realism are mixed in the plot to make it a commercial entertainer. Shriya plays the female lead.
Vivek, Santhanam, Vinod Raj, Y.G. Mahendran, Arun Mathavan, Vinayak and Alex will be seen in supporting roles. Vikram’s father Vinothraj and Malayalam actor Indrajith (elder brother of actor Prithviraj), play important roles in this film which has music by Devi Sri Prasad. Notably, Mallana's theatrical rights and satellite broadcast rights were sold last year for stunning amounts.
