Vikram Prabhu officially commenced work on his 26th feature film this Monday. The production team announced the start of shooting with a traditional pooja ceremony, marking the beginning of the project.
Currently referred to as Vikram Prabhu 26, the yet-to-be-titled film introduces Siddharth as a feature director, marking his debut in the industry. Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja has been roped in to handle the music score. Known for his ability to move between commercial entertainers and emotionally driven dramas, the composer's involvement is expected to be a major highlight of the production.
The project was first announced in April, shortly after the actor's previous film, Sirai, reached theatres earlier this year. That film was directed by debutant Suresh Rajakumari and featured a screenplay by filmmaker Tamizh, who had earlier collaborated with the actor on the critically appreciated Taanakkaran. While the makers have confirmed that filming has begun, they have chosen to keep the rest of the details under wraps. Information regarding the supporting cast, technical crew, and storyline is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks as production progresses.

Production House Expands Slate
Raahul is producing the film under the Romeo Pictures banner. Over the past few years, the production house has emerged as a prominent name in Tamil cinema, backing and distributing several high-profile releases. The banner previously handled the distribution of Vijay's The Greatest of All Time and Ajith Kumar's Good Bad Ugly, further strengthening its presence in the industry.
The announcement marks another significant venture for Romeo Pictures, which recently revealed another ambitious project featuring actor-producer Ravi Mohan in the lead. That film, also yet to receive an official title, will be directed by GND Shyam Kumar, another first-time filmmaker. These back-to-back announcements underline the production house's growing focus on introducing new directors while collaborating with established stars.
Although plot details for both films remain tightly guarded, the production house appears to be investing in fresh storytelling voices alongside familiar leading actors. More information regarding casting, shooting schedules, and release timelines is expected to be announced over the coming months.
