Vikram's Bheema is nearing a final cut. The entire talkie portion has been completed.

Director Lingusamy was supposed to fly to Australia to shoot a romantic duet with Vikram and Trisha.

The latest buzz is that the director has opted to go to New Zealand instead of Australia.

They would leave to New Zealand on 11 April and return in a week after completing the song sequence.

Produced by AM Rathinam, Bheema has musical score by Harris Jeyaraj.

Says Vikram, "I am hopeful that the movie would be cherished by my fans. I have toned up my physique to suit the role."

Close on the heels of completing Bheema, Vikram will commence shooting for Kandasaamy to be directed by Susi Ganesan. Shreya plays his heroine in the movie.
